The document discusses experiments with sharing learning environments in China. It describes Toyhouse, an organization in China that supports playful learning activities through workshops, maker spaces, and developing curricula with other groups. The goal of Toyhouse is to provide guidance and resources to allow people to direct their own learning paths, with apprentices later becoming teachers themselves. Toyhouse works with various experts and welcomes people from different backgrounds to collectively make better use of educational resources.
