Abstract
Knowing your learners is at the heart of effective education and schooling. Young people's experiences are unique. They develop in spaces and places which they alone can interpret. Hence, we owe it to them to provide opportunities to learn about and share their interests, concerns, and solutions. Their places and spaces are part of their home and personal views. Providing opportunities to access their inner thoughts will inform the process and enable capacity building, developmental progression, and improved learning outcomes. As illustrated through case studies, place, geography, and nature are implicit features of this process. The agent and structure of each are intertwined.
