Followed by a great dinner with seafood and warm dishes and lots of wine. The dinner was located in Hotel Bohemia, Prague where the fist ILS was held last year.

Some of the Key words and TAKE AWAYS which I as a Moderator highlighted from this 2nd Innovative Learning Spaces Summit were that Innovative Learning Spaces concerns:

• People, with different needs, demands and desires for theire learning
• From inclusion to personal
• Transformation and transitional processes in digital and physical spaces
• Engagement
• Who do we invite to the table
• Resiliences
• Not to end up with old methods in new innovative learning spaces
• Extended learning spaces to the society, the use of external learning spaces
• Think global, act local, globalization
• Choose Champions, ambassadors to lead the PARADE
• To ask the "right " questions
• Start unconditionally
• Don't set the barriers yourself
• Management and leadership at all levels are crucial
• Capacaty building
• Social learning spaces
