Summary/Abstract: As a starting point for the reconstruction of pictures of places of creation of the world’s concepts, the monograph edited by T. Sadoń-Osowiecka “Place, space, landscape – educational signs” was chosen. Analyses of the works published in it was carried out on the basis of: location of the observer in an educational space, distance in the study conducted, applied techniques of recording the picture, and the preferred temporal distance in the recording of a picture. The said analysis indicated the role played in the understanding of the world by an individual through: (a) one’s association with “places” which give the status of tamed space; (b) valid and methodologically proper recognition of reality ‘from near’ and ‘from afar’, and treatment of these perspectives as mutually complementary; (c) the will not to eliminate from the pictures of the world “its” gloomy elements: the problems of school: hard situations of socially and culturally excluded people; marginalised places; (d) readiness to bear responsibility for the quality of being “among” people and “for” them, for the present and future of the life of their world.
