6.9    Experiential learning: A one-day workshop

This workshop design links Workshops 1, 2, 4 and 5 within a '9 to 5' day. Workshop 3 can be substituted for Workshop 2 if participants are more interested in teaching and training methods than in learning styles.

The warm-up exercise can be crucial to establishing the right kind of openness to experience. A simple and safe exercise is to ask participants, in pairs, to spend five minutes each telling each other about a rich and rewarding learning experience they have had, and how that felt.
