Experienced trainers and educators know that using participants' experiences as a departure point for learning is useful, powerful, and an essential part of teaching as a participatory process. However, many trainers have not had the opportunity to formally study some of the theories that form the basis of experiential education methods. During this gathering, we will explore David Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle as a useful framework for designing and delivering trainings to a wide range of audiences.
The gathering will involve an experiential activities and small group work to facilitate learning about Kolb's theory as it relates to different learning styles. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss activities that fit within each part of the cycle, as well as questions that help to facilitate learning.
