Experiential Facilitator Level 1
2 Day Certification Experience
Experiential Education is quite literally learning by doing and Experiential Facilitation is the art of masterfully supporting others as they learn, develop, reflect and excavate meaning from experiential pursuits. The research is clear about the need to engage people’s differentiated learning styles, but often people find themselves at a loss for some unique, proven and effective strategies for truly capturing their audience’s interest and imaginations. This program expertly explores the role of adventure and outdoor activities as powerful and often therapeutic catalysts for development, learning engagement and the building of important, personal Life Assets. This program is ideal for Teachers and other Educators looking to deepen their tool boxes or broaden their spectrum of approaches and is an absolute core competency for those seeking works as Outdoor Professionals.
