What it's all about
These campus based experiential learning workshops are designed to equip students and teachers with the necessary resources to uncover their true potential. The key ideas are delivered through exciting presentations, purposeful discussions and challenging practical exercises. Outcomes are often increased motivation, courage, confidence and resilience. Most importantly the workshops are engaging, interactive and fun!
The process
Programmes are delivered in an engaging and dynamic style. Ideas / concepts are shared with students / teachers followed by an opportunity to test these ideas out with both team and individual experiential learning based challenges.
Success starts with knowing the end goal
All presentations and content are customised to suit different age groups and desired outcomes. The best way to design an effective programme is by reverse engineering. This starts with a meeting preferably face to face (but can be Skype-based or via phone call), to discuss the end goal. This will provide the key information / insights required for us to tailor make a programme to suit your specific needs, and get you to where you want to be.
