Workshop Overview

This interactive workshop on experiential learning methodology and practice is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to integrate hands-on experiences into their educational or professional settings. Through a carefully curated series of exercises, the workshop aims to immerse participants in the principles of experiential learning, fostering a deep understanding of its benefits. By the end of the workshop, participants will not only have engaged in practical exercises but will also have developed personalized experiential learning plans, ensuring a seamless integration of this dynamic approach into their teaching or training methodologies.

Goals of Workshop

Facilitate Hands-On Learning Experiences

Promote Reflective Practice

encourage participants to reflect on their experiential learning experiences and understand the importance of reflection in the learning process. Create structured opportunities for participants to debrief after each activity, discuss insights gained, and identify connections between the experiential activities and theoretical concepts. The objective is for participants to develop a habit of reflective practice that they can integrate into their teaching or training methodologies. By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to articulate the role of reflection in enhancing the learning process and demonstrate their ability to facilitate reflective discussions.

Develop Customized Experiential Learning Plans

participants will design and implement experiential learning plans tailored to their specific educational or professional contexts. We’ll provide tools, frameworks, and guidelines for participants to create their own experiential learning activities that align with their learning objectives. This goal aims to ensure that participants leave the workshop with concrete plans for incorporating experiential learning into their teaching or training practices. By the end of the workshop, participants should have developed a personalized experiential learning plan, complete with activity designs, assessment strategies, and a reflection framework, ready for implementation in their respective settings.
