There is evidence that the design and management of educational spaces are fundamental in the learning, health and well-being of children, especially in childhood education and in primary school (OECD, 2018a). More specifically, the studies of Martin (2019), Barrett et al. (2015) Barros et al. (2016) and Oliveira-Formosinho and Andrade (2011) have revealed that quality educational environments foster learning and that poorly promoting environments can be disruptive for children.engLearning spacesParticipatory approachesLearning environmentsbook part
