1) The document discusses an alternative learning model called "Camp" which was piloted at the Ieshima workshop in Japan in 2009. It involved loosely structured experiential learning projects focused on local communities.
2) A key goal of "Camp" is to create a temporary space to reflect on taken-for-granted aspects of daily life and convert communities into classrooms for learning anytime.
3) The Ieshima workshop explored ways to create various media contents to contribute to the local community and considered how to establish long-term engagement through such projects.
