Kratskolen is a whole new way of integrating indoor and outdoor spaces in schools and thus integrating space for play and learning. The project has been carried out at the school Skanderup-Hjarup Forbundsskole by a number of local players together with architects and designers. Yet, future users have also contributed significantly to the project, for instance through workshops, said Headmaster Lene Brandt as she accepted the award.
– This is also very much the children’s achievement. They have helped generate ideas for the project right from the beginning, she says to a local newspaper.
