1. A Sense of Pace

The first element need for a learning classroom is a sense of place.

'The Aboriginal notion of sacredness, far from disappearing, seems to be taking hold in contemporary Australia. A World Heritage-listed site, the Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park attracts half a million tourists a year. The traditional owners, the Anangu, work together with the Northern Territory Government and Ayers Rock Resort to provide visitors with an experience that is not just exciting, but spiritually moving. "Spiritual tourism" is proving to be an effective way of showing respect for indigenous culture while enabling visitors to reflect on their own sense of the sacred. '
