Right from its inception, Waag Society has been involved with education and, primarily, with its modernisation.

The goal of the Creative Learning Lab within the domain Education is innovation. The interests and capacities of the pupils are the focal point: the domain sees them as media producers, not merely as consumers. 

Innovation is the Education domain’s objective. Its approach is based on individual interests, and emphatically views pupils as media producers. This means that, instead of being treated as passive consumers, they get to grips with subjects that reflect their own environment and experiences.

Within the educational domain there are conjunctions with many educational organisations. The Creative Learning Lab is housed at newly renovated Pakhuis de Zwijger (warehouse for culture and new media). The Lab provides facilities where it will be possible to work actively and directly with a wide variety of digital tools. Also, the Platform for Education and Innovative Media was added to the Education domain as a forum where professionals in this area can exchange information.
