Experiential Learning: Origins

Do You Know Experiential Learning Originated in India; Ancient Indian Gurukul System

This has been practised in India for thousands of years. It's a unique method where students live with their gurus in an ashram. The gurus impart knowledge on various subjects including scriptures, philosophy, mathematics, and science. The students not only receive academic education but also learn values, discipline, and life skills.

The Gurukul system promotes a holistic approach to education, focusing on the overall development of a student's mind, body, and spirit.

Adventure Activity

Why Adventure Activity?

A. A tranquil ambience coupled with a break from the routine environment gives participants the required "manifestation” to be able to introspect and analyze themselves.

B. As facilitators we create situations which invite participants to discover their own interpretation & solutions to challenging issues.

C. Participants are challenged to think differently, communicate effectively, solve problems creatively, display leadership, take risks, and actively support teammates.

Learning becomes especially unique as it also captures emotions like disappointment, stress, anger, enthusiasm and joy, apart from skills, to facilitate the process of translating learning into practice

Team Development

Team Development- Why it's Important

A. A team is a collection of individuals directing their energies towards a defined goal, which is achieved through their joint, complementary efforts. If the team is working well, there’s energy, synergy and enthusiasm.

B. People are there because of what they can contribute, not because some organization chart says so. Teams don’t ‘gel’ overnight. They struggle through various stages of growth, and if they emerge triumphant at the end, it will be because they’ve worked at it.

Goals: Priority Setting->Action

Goals, Strategies, Priorities and Action

A. Successful teamwork starts with the question: ‘What are we trying to achieve?’ Unless members of the team agree on this fundamental point, they will be pulling in different directions and wasting their energies.

B. Within the team, there may be conflicting visions, priorities and personal goals to be reconciled. Beyond the team, there are pressures and opportunities that need to be considered. Teams need time to explore the issues.

C. The question cannot be answered once and for all. It will need to be reconsidered regularly as circumstances change. The team must be flexible in its working methods, and be prepared to review its strategies in response to new situations.

D. The process of establishing goals may be a painful one, as past experiences, assumptions and ways of working have to be challenged and perhaps replaced by new norms.
