In 2015-2017, 2 partners took part in the KA2 SP-project Looking at Learning [L@L] on the topic of Creative Learning Environments. This project was highly successful, with huge impact and broad dissemination of all the intellectual outputs and results of the project. Discussions and conversations about the innovation in the learning environment started in all local and regional educational environments. As partners also have their international networks, It has spread all over Europe. As a result of this, partners discovered that many organisations are using creative methods, but are also highly interested in sharing and innovating further with peers the educational environment and making it more fitting to the needs of today's young people and educators. For this we have developed an 11-months Strategic Partnership project Creative Learning Environments; Adapted and Renewed [CLEAR] as a follow-up on L@L project with 4 European partners on Sharing Practices for educators from various educational fields. The project contains of a long-term cooperation, including 3 transnational meetings, local experimentation activities and 2 seminars for sharing practices and adapting learning environments. The project is combining practical hands-on and conceptual approaches of learning environments. A special focus will be given to role of creativity and educational value of these learning environments, and also to the link of creative learning environments to the 3 areas of action of the new European Youth Strategy 2019-2027: Engage, Connect and Empower.Aim: to create a synergy to further explore and develop creative learning elements that engage, connect and empower today's young people's.Objectives: •to strengthen the existing cooperation/ network and expand the cooperation with new partners•to create opportunities for organisations and professionals to develop themselves as supporters of learning and creators of good supporting learning environments.•to share quality methods, tools and learning spaces, develop and adapt for other educational setting and other target groups.•analyse different dimensions of creative Learning environments, like physical space, use of materials, artistic and creative methods, role of the educator, responsibility of learner•map out the obstacles that prevent to use the potential of creative learning environments, analyse needs in order to create good learning environments.This project will focus on all aspects of the creative learning environments, specifically:•Role of educator and their educational approach•role of the learner and (self-directed) learning•learning needs of today's young people•use of (creative) materials, •the potential of physical spaces and “Upcycling” learning spaces.•Nature as a learning space•Learning Laboratories and experimentation •sharing creative quality methods that support learning.CLEAR project is based on creating quality support in adequate learning environments for young people in various educational settings like schools, youth centres and youth organisations. Sharing the process of changing learning environments into 21st century creative learning spaces, make educators supporters of innovation of their educational spaces, including their role and responsibility and other important aspects of creative learning environments. CLEAR projects wants to explore how we can translate the EU Strategy into a practical 'How to Engage, Connect and Empower young people in educational settings?' The CLEAR project wants to have an impact on education in Europe and see change and innovation in educational practices of educators all over Europe in order to support young people to take ownership of their own learning.

"The project ""Look @ Learning"" aims to provide space and support for cross-sectoral cooperation of professionals in formal and non-formal education on innovation of education in order to create contemporary and successful learning environments for young people in their educational process.The specific objectives of the project are following:1. To understand the learning needs of young people and understand what conditions encourage ‘natural’ and self-directed learning using the outcomes of a research on learning environment.2. To encourage cooperation between formal and non-formal education. 3. To share theories and concepts on learning and facilitation of learning.4. To set up local and transnational workshops and trainings to explore how creativity and unconventional environments can provoke new perceptions about learning.5. To explore new educational methodology and to create innovative educational tools for a broad range of young people, including young people with fewer opportunities.6. To support participants to identify their own natural way of learning and explore how creativity and environments can provoke changes in our learning efficiency. This long term project was developed between March 2015 - February 2017 by 4 non-governmental organizations (Humana People to People in Latvia; Youth Exchange Service and Stichting Merakel from Netherlands and Promesas from Spain), and 2 governmental entities: Gulbene Municipality council (Latvia) and Maracena Municipality (Spain). Besides coordinating organizations, a broad range of stakeholders and educators from the Netherlands, Spain and Latvia were involved in the project to explore creative learning environments together, share good practices and implement new ideas and tools in existing structures, therefore bringing innovation to their own surroundings.During the project following intellectual results have been created: 1) State of Art research ""The First Looking at Learning"" - the study outlines problems in the area of creative learning environment in Latvian, Dutch and Spanish education systems, simultaneously viewing education policy documents and inspecting the actual situation in educational establishments.2) eduesc@perooms - developed practical learning tool to foster creative learning process 3) Research “The Key Elements of Creative Learning Environment: a case study from Latvia, Spain and the Netherlands”. The main aim of the research was to summarize the study results obtained in three research phases in each country and present the key elements of the creative learning environment, their characteristics and the best practices developed during the project.Besides created intellectual results, 2 international training courses have been held, 5 transnational meetings and many local activities - experiments with creative learning environments carried out by 28 educators and involving 1941 young people in all 3 project countries."
