Why, “Learning In the White Space”?

An often asked question, “Why, Learning In the White Space?” It all began with Dawn’s interest in this concept when it was introduced in an art class many years ago. The idea stuck with her over the years and seemed also to explain that learning actually takes place in the “white space”, not during the activity of learning. It is said that our brains need roughly 15 minutes to process every hour of active learning. So, first, a blog was named, Learning In the White Space. A few years later, a boutique consultancy.
