Reimagining how we educate next generations in future-fit spaces

Post Covid pandemic, 21st century learning looks to challenge the binary perceptions of space, exploring hybrid learning through the intersection of physical, virtual, formal and informal spaces. Today’s rapidly changing, interconnected world requires students to think differently, work differently and learn differently. Multi-use learning spaces and flexible layouts are influencing the design and application of the education environment.

At a time when children spend more and more time in front of a screen, the escape dance offers has never been more important. Dance is more than just a way of exercising and entertainment, it enables young people to gain artistic skills and discipline, it increases confidence, spatial awareness, concentration and mobility.

Dance and performing arts encourage inclusive, responsive learning but not all education environments; schools, colleges and universities can dedicate a specialist area to this discipline. Harlequin Liberty Switch is an innovative, versatile multifunctional hybrid flooring solution. It enables an educational space to switch from a rigid floor to a sprung dance floor at the touch of a button enabling the same space to be used flexibly for performing arts, drama, music and dance.
