The principles of the Vittra School revolve around the breakdown of physical and metaphorical class divisions as a fundamental step to promoting intellectual curiosity, self-confidence, and communally responsible behavior. Therefore, in Vittra's custom-built Stockholm location, spaces are only loosely defined by permeable borders and large, abstract landmarks. As the architects explained, "instead of classical divisions with chairs and tables, a giant iceberg for example serves as cinema, platform, and room for relaxation, and sets the frame for many different types of learning," while "flexible laboratories make it possible to work hands-on with themes and projects."
The mission of Web 2.0 Labs is to continue to cultivate, incubate, and grow existing and future opportunities for educators to work with each other, and to promote the personal and collective value of social media projects.
