This podcast series was created in the spring of 2022 by students of Leiden University College The Hague, as part of the Dr. Ann Marie Wilson’s course, “The Ecology Project: Place-Based Education in The Hague.” After reflecting for a semester on the history, practices, and challenges of place-based education, they turned their attention to the local environment and thought about the ways that students arriving in The Hague – whether they come from next door or from the other side of the world – can develop a sense of rootedness here.

After a two-part introduction that introduces place-based education, as well as the team of students who created the podcast series, each subsequent episode takes the listener on a journey through the city, offering a different perspective on its people, history, ecosystems, and spaces. Embracing a storytelling approach, the podcast prompts observation and reflection – as well as direct experience of The Hague.
