Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity of attending the Alpine-Rendevouz held at the village of Villars in Switzerland. The meeting was a combination of workshops and doctoral schools organized by the Kaleidscope network of excellence.

My attendance was motivated by an invitation to participate in a workshop about the Classroom of the Future, led by Kati Mäkitalo-Siegel and Frederick Kaplan. Aside from giving presentations on our topics–mine was about Cultural Heritage in the Curriculum, Case Study Exploring Carta Marina–we had an opportunity to work on a design for the Classroom of the Future.

I proposed to my colleagues that we should design a space for the sole purpose of telling stories. Here is a picture of our final design, or Storytelling Room (the second from top), as reported in the Kaleidoscope network news. I would love to continue working on this project, so if there is anybody out there interested… Let me know!
