What a moment and learning environment for all involved. I too have found that people are incredibly generous with their time and expertise - often actively seeking to find ways to 'give back' and blend the boundaries between the classroom and the 'real world' Thanks for adding a history example to my science-centric story! Wondering what other third spaces have been created in other disciplines...
Brilliant perspective!!! We often forget how complicated it is to be a child in such a modern world. Third space for learning is a magical intersection of partnership and opportunities for creativity and fun. So many great ideas. Please run education for the world!
I just had a trio of women come to my classes to tell their family's Holocaust survival stories. Whew! It was a heavy 3rd space indeed.
If you are a history teacher, check with your local Holocaust museum. They might have a bureau of speakers who will come out for free.

Too kind and thank you for commenting. Great point about learning being fun not always possible but a good reminder to try to center
