Abstract
This poster displays the diverse learning opportunities available for high school and college students when using labyrinths in their schools and/or university settings. According to the Worldwide Labyrinth Locator, 76 schools and universities across the globe have a labyrinth associated with their school or campus. With the growing availability of labyrinths, students have a wide array of activities in their school/university setting that can be done utilizing the labyrinth, including community projects, research studies, celebrations of events, and class activities. This poster highlights one high school student and three university students as well as one university student group that incorporated the labyrinth as a part of their school/campus projects in 2013-14. The poster includes pictures of student projects, their reflections including the benefits of their experiences, and examples of the documents they created. Engaging students with labyrinth activities and research provides them with unique learning opportunities as they embrace the liminal space entering into adulthood while incorporating the labyrinth into their lives and introducing the labyrinth to others. Mentoring students provides labyrinth society members special intergenerational connections as the next generation of those passionate about the labyrinth join those on the path who promote and create labyrinths across the globe.
