- Experiential Education provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which to face new challenges, and enhance your ability to take charge of your life or support those who work with you.
- “Experiential education is a philosophy that informs many methodologies in which facilitators purposefully engage with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills, clarify values, and develop people’s capacity to contribute to their communities”.[Association for Experiential Education, 2019]
- Opportunity for Reflection – Reflection is an integral component of the experiential learning process. By incorporating concrete experiences with abstract concepts, and then reflecting on the outcome, students engage more regions of their brain and make true, personal connections with the material. They analyze how their actions affected the outcome, and how their outcome may have varied from other students’. This analysis helps them better understand how the concepts learned can be applied to other, varied circumstances.
