REGISTRATION – Summer Creative School for Teachers III
Jan Amos Komenský saw the world as a book open to all the senses and the human being as a creature journeying through a landscape of meanings. For him, learning was at once a path, a map, and a compass. Here, this metaphor acquires both a literal and a symbolic dimension.
The Summer School invites teachers and educators to the Orlické Mountains, where forest paths, mountain meadows, and shifting light create a natural laboratory of attention. In a landscape that itself encourages movement and focus, we will map not only the surrounding world but also the inner landscape of the teacher. Here, the terrain is not merely a geographical place—it is a space of relationships, meanings, and questions.
The program connects artistic experimentation, scientific observation of nature, research, project-based learning, and reflective writing. We draw inspiration from the pedagogical practice and work of figures who approach space as a medium of knowledge. Together, we will read the landscape as a text, record and interpret observed phenomena, seek orientation within the informational terrain of the present, create interdisciplinary projects rooted in a specific place, and map our own pedagogical attitudes and values.
Participants will take away practical tools for inquiry-based and project-based learning, experience in connecting natural sciences, art, and reflection, and methods for working with journals and creative writing. They will also gain a deeper understanding of their own pedagogical identity and inspiration for teaching in harmony with place and context.
Learning here is not a predetermined route. It is an adventurous expedition into the terrain—both outer and inner.
