Globeducate Schools Work with Renowned Rosan Bosch Studio on Campus Development

Empowering Learners with Rosan Bosch Pedagogical Architecture

Designing learning spaces that will motivate and empower students is the driving force behind a collaboration between Globeducate and renowned Danish architect and designer Rosan Bosch, with her featured work in three leading IB Globeducate schools in Madrid, Milan and Nice.

With her innovative designs already established in the Bilingual European School in Milan, ISN Nice and Agora Madrid International School are now working with Rosan Bosch Studio, taking the first steps towards progressive educational development in its campus design to provide state-of-the-art learning experiences to its IB students. Acknowledging that everybody learns differently is the reference that influences these design projects, a key part of the Globeducate´s key pillar of educational excellence.

The award-winning Rosan Bosch Studio, established in 2011, is located in Copenhagen and Madrid, and works all over the world on designing and creating learning environments, workspaces and cultural venues with respect for our innate playfulness as human beings.

Rosan Bosch, founder and creative director in Rosan Bosch Studio, said: “To prepare learners for an uncertain future and a rapidly changing world, we need to focus on skills over content. We need to empower learners to become self-directed, motivated and creative life-long learners. We design spaces that stimulate curiosity and encourage learners to play to learn, to explore their learning potential and to become aware of their individual needs in learning situations”

Chief Education Officer of Globeducate Daniel Jones said: “This approach to learning space design aligns strongly with the Globeducate vision of educational excellence and with the key focus of our global STEAM Agenda, which is hands-on, minds-on, experiential learning, and learning through play.

“The studio´s project with ISN Nice, one of our leading IB international schools, in the south of France, will translate the concept of a “Whole School”, where learners are encouraged to connect, collaborate and share spaces in a learning community. The IB curriculum supports creativity and the learner´s ability to transfer knowledge and skills from one discipline to another and to real-life situations. We are excited about this collaboration and by the interest our parents and students have had in the planning of new learning environments.”

The Bilingual European School in Milan was the first school in Italy to work with Rosan Bosch Studio. The studio designed revolutionary environments in the school – transforming the common areas into inspiring spaces for teaching, learning, tutoring and social activities. About this project, Rosan Bosch said: “We didn´t create classrooms or labs, but learning landscapes where every student has the opportunity to invent their own journey into the world of knowledge. The project at BES included a Knowledge Centre, a 1+1 Lab, blending science and art, and a Garden.”

Agora Madrid International School, a private bilingual school in Villaviciosa de Odón, is the first and only school in Spain to offer an IB curriculum specialised in the Performing Arts – and it is laying the foundation for the development of 21st Century learning experiences. Working with Rosan Bosch Studio, the school is developing a holistic environment that will support the IB curriculum. A break from tradition, the designs will stimulate students´ curiosity and offer confidence and differentiation, with four typologies for the learning spaces: Wellness Studio, Performing Arts Studio, Glocal Studio and STEAM Studio.

Luis Madrid, Executive Director of Agora Madrid International School, said: “This school will be an educational reference, where the architecture will be fully aligned with innovative and disruptive education that allows teachers and students a wide range of teaching and learning situations, in line with a changing world of constant challenges. Education must respond to these challenges with adaptability and creativity, not only in its methodology but also in its infrastructure.”
