Edutainment is playful, explorative, open-to-anyone, hands-on, experience-based learning. No former experience is required, anyone can take part, it’s “Go, explore and play”.
The research is clear: Playful pedagogy supports social-emotional and academic strengths while instilling a love of learning. Studies show that children explore more than adults if they are given the opportunity, and exploring has strong benefits for their learning.
Therefore, giving children, teenagers and adults the opportunity to explore and play, is a great learning tool, especially in an informal educational setting. It breaks down the boundaries and takes away the reservations some children/young people (and adults) might have in a traditional educational environment.
Edutainment creates a playful space to try, gives room to make mistakes, to try again and to observe that one problem can have several solutions - not just one right answer. Giving room to try means giving space to find your talents.
As said, Edutainment is open to anyone: “Go, explore, play!”, and a lot of active learning along the way.
