This international webinar takes a science-based Nordic approach on Sustainable and Accessible Future Learning Spaces.

The Science and Future of Healthy Buildings is the leading Webinar series in Europe. It's brought to you by leading Nordic companies Naava, Signify, and Kinnarps.

Welcome to a digital webinar where we will find out how one piece of the puzzle, the physical environment, can help create sustainable and accessible learning spaces that improve learning.

Our schools are one of our most essential environments in society. It is where our children spend most of their waking time and where they should have the desire to learn and be prepared for the future. The schools' mission is to promote all students' learning and give them the best opportunity to reach their full potential. It is a complex task, and several factors affect how well a school succeeds.  

What to expect from this webinar?

In order to design well-functioning environments for optimized learning, the pedagogical, physical, and social environments need to interact and work harmoniously. 

This hour special Learning Spaces Edition of the Science and Future of Healthy Buildings Webinar brings insights and inspiration for people running or developing learning environments globally.

We are proud to have representatives from pioneering global companies driving the sustainable learning spaces movement, helping our children and youth be healthier, happier, and more sustainable.
