We are halfway through the training course on new ways of learning, through creativity, motivation and curiosity. The course is taught by Dusan Bartunek, professor of Outdoor Education at Charles University in Prague and visiting professor at Linkoping University in Sweden. Dusan Bartunek is an ardent supporter of the Swedish theory that teaching should go far beyond the curriculum set by each country's governments and that every teacher should try to establish a kind of compromise between what the national curriculum sets out and what the national curriculum is. needs, desires and anxieties of students. Try to be as flexible, creative and authentic as possible, in order to capture the interest and curiosity of students for their surroundings. Hence the importance of betting on activities outside the classroom, in an interdisciplinary way, in a logic of "learning by doing".

Today, once again, we went to nature and had the opportunity to experience a diverse set of activities that can be "enjoyed" by all disciplines. Be it in the forest, by the river, in the city or in the playground, there are many activities that can be developed so that students learn without even realizing that they are learning. Cooperation, sharing, mutual support, respect... are social skills that are reinforced by working in a team, with obvious advantages if this teamwork is carried out outside the classroom, in an open space that calls for movement, for unexpected and flexibility.

It is worth thinking about this sentence, which is more than a century old, uttered by Ellen Key, a Swedish pedagogue: "education is what survives when what is learned has been forgotten".
