The book explores the potential of learning outside the traditional
classroom when students gain real-world experiences in a variety of
contexts and public spaces such as built, natural and virtual
landscapes, museums, heritage sites, science centres and community
venues. The authors of the book promote and put the flexible and
'plastic' concept of a place of learning into action by including
physical geographical location, digital, virtual and textual spaces
into the analysis. The book illuminates the importance of
innovative educational strategies in connecting formal, non-formal
and informal education - experiential learning in museums, heritage
places and communities, inquiry-based pedagogy, digital
storytelling, environmental online games, narrative geographies,
and the use of geospatial technologies.
This book illuminates the educational potential of nuclear tourism
and learning about nuclear power in informal and non-formal
learning settings. The authors present a case of elaboration of the
educational virtual nuclear route in the Ignalina Power Plant
Region, Lithuania. Nuclear tourism takes its shape at the junction
of several types of tourism - energy, industrial, cultural, and
heritage and it becomes a site of outdoor and place-based
education, promotes STEM, energy literacy, critical thinking, and
environmental skills, and creates a valuable source for virtual
learning. The book reveals peculiarities of learning and experience
at nuclear power plants and disaster tourism destinations such as
the Chernobyl Museum and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
