“LORET uses the local environment to learn from it, together. Through this way of engaging with sustainability challenges, we realise the curriculum goals at the same time. This is a great added value. Through LORET experiential learning is now effectively given a place.” (

coordinator of MOS, the Eco-schools programme in Belgium)

“Ultimately, you want your teaching to have an impact. That does not always need to be limited to learning effects in the strict sense, like learning knowledge by heart. It is also about learning to interact with each other. And about learning that people hold different opinions. And about coming to realise that other things may be possible, beyond what one imagined beforehand.”
