Dear Greg,
every week I receive invitations to events that want to make a
contribution to the challenges of the new millenium, pointing to the
need for experienced based learning that is integrating, contextual,
sustainable, engaging and holistic and some other things.
Clear challenge.
What follows, as is also the case for the 11th International Conference
on Experiential Learning, is the description of a form that seems to
have little relation to the function. It is simply the kind of design
thats been around for decades, ignoring the great tools we have been
developing in the last 20-25 years that do meet the requirements stated
in the invitation.
Why is that?
Greetings from Berlin

Never has there been a time when experience-based learning was needed more.
The demands of the new millennium go beyond competency to challenge
facilitators to deliver learning that is integrated, contextual,
sustainable, engaging and holistic.
The 2008 conference theme is 'The Identity of Experience'. The theme focuses
on current and future challenges for experiential learning. These challenges
are:
a) the challenge of integration
