Spatial justice education through experiential learning: the case of AuroraLab in Turin (Italy)

The empirical study of spatial inequalities and forms of injustice can be considered a fundamental asset in the academic curricula of spatial planning schools. Several methods and techniques have been experi- mented worldwide. This paper presents the role of experiential educa- tion in relation to spatial justice, applying this frame and methods to a real urban context. The experience of AuroraLAB, a project of action research and university third mission in Turin (Italy) is presented to show the relevance of experiential learning practices, its various meth- odologies, outcomes, and challenging conditions.
