The idea behind place-based education is simple yet compelling: It uses the environment around you, to learn. Place-based learning can take place in parks, in museums, anywhere. Learners participate and reap numerous benefits, including higher levels of engagement, academic achievements and a great sense of involvement in their local communities.
