Description
In today's fast-paced world, traditional training methods are no longer sufficient to improve performance and promote behavioural change. Experiential Learning offers a more effective approach, combining in-depth theory with real-world examples from companies like KidZania, Shell, and the UK National Health Service (NHS). This practical guide provides a simple model, the Learning Combination Lock, to help trainers, coaches, facilitators, and educators select the best strategies for their circumstances. The book covers essential topics such as experiential learning activities, indoor and outdoor learning environments, creative learning, and working with senses and emotions. It also features new international case studies and examples, as well as updated material on the mechanisms underpinning learning, mindfulness, and wellbeing. Online supporting resources include audio files exploring sensory intelligence. This fourth edition of Experiential Learning is a valuable resource for anyone designing and delivering learning experiences in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.
