How can schools become creative hubs for enriching the community, for caring for nature, landscape, and place? This book presents the why, what, and how of creative place-based education as action researched successfully by educators for more than twenty years in Aurland, Sognafjord, Norway, and with Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet (Norwegian University of Life Sciences) in Oslo, Norway. This hands-on approach embraces the whole locality as an inspiring educational resource. Design tools for developing place based educational curricula are made globally relevant, with case studies.
