Soft Skills in Experiential Education

• New title of the successful “experiencing & learning“ series
• Initiating and accompanying group processes in experiential education

Canooing, fixed rope tours or bicycle tours – the setting itself is often not enough. How can instructors of experiential groups realise the participants’ development potential and initialise group processes resulting in constructive experiences? This book offers ideas how projects, based on individual experience objectives of teenagers, can look like. Here, the focus lies on psychosocial processes within the group. The author offers many ideas and background information for situations in which “the mountain doesn’t speak for itself”. He shows how to prepare experiential educational fields of action in such a way that an interplay between physical activities and psychosocial processes can be made use of.
