ECIA in Rome at Scuola Democratica 2026


How can democracy shape not only education, but also the spaces where learning happens?

At the international conference “Learning for Democracy, Democracy for Learning”, ECIA is represented by René Pier as part of the EU funded project CLEAR: Compass of Learning Environments in Action and Resilience.

Today’s panel, “Territories are made, not given”, explored how democratic and participatory processes can inform school development, educational concepts and the planning of learning environments.

A special highlight was the first spontaneous test of CLEAR Sketch with participants who had never used the tool before. The AI supported spatial proposals matched their pedagogical needs remarkably well.

Their feedback will now directly contribute to the further development of the app.

A promising step towards connecting education, participation, spatial design and AI.
