Billund Builds
What happens when children get the opportunity to learn by using their curiosity, investigate, cooperate and build physical solutions? And what happens to the teachers and pedagogues who simultaneously have their mindset challenged in relation to learning? That is what Billund Builds is all about.
Billund Builds invites both children and adults to work with creative, collaborative and experimental processes under a shared overall theme with the purpose of developing qualifications of the future, as well as promoting an interdisciplinary learning community that both children and adults can have an effect on.
In 2020, the theme is Billund Builds Creative World Citizens. Children from all the municipality's schools will help define what a creative world citizen is. From now on and until the spring of 2020, the theme will be explored and developed locally in all the municipality's public day-care facilities and schools.
Regardless of the theme, the central point of Billund Builds is to create a framework in which the children can co-create playful, creative and experimental learning processes. The starting point is an understanding of that children learn best when they are engaged, are challenged, work creatively with the challenges and create their own solutions.
Billund Builds is a hands-on project where children and adults build and create together, and where both children and professionals gain practical knowledge and understanding of how they can use learning through play in everyday life.
The ambition of Billund Builds is not just to create a shared project week across year groups and institutions across the whole municipality, but also to create a platform for exchange of experiences between professionals and for documentation and evaluation of experiences and methods.
And it’s also a concrete and tangible way of working with the vision of Capital of Children as the place where children learn through play and are creative world citizens.
Billund Builds is driven by CoC Playful Minds in collaboration with Billund municipality and the LEGO Foundation.
