Creating a piece of art. Falling from a bicycle. Struggling to finish a hike. Setting up a business venture. Starting a social enterprise. These seemingly diverse experiences have a common knot – they impart rich, irreversible, and transferable learnings. While these experiences can be designed and conducted within a school setting, they assume infinite capacity out in the world amidst unpredictable conditions and possibilities.

This set of posters includes 50 exciting ideas to inspire your students to take their learning beyond the classroom. The ideas are an opportunity to make real-world connections, deepen understanding of complex concepts, and immerse in experiences that will stay with students as they travel through life.

Ideas for using these posters:

Pin them up in the school hallways for visual inspiration
Hand them out before a short break or holidays, or when you can sense a slump in students’ learning motivation
Share them with all teachers to ensure a healthy dollop of beyond-the-classroom learning to complement and bolster learning within school
