What is experiential learning and teambuilding?
A21: Experiential Learning is a field of knowledge that focuses on the practices and processes for using direct experience to promote personal and interpersonal understanding and growth. Teambuilding is a field within corporate training and development that promotes the use of effective processes in communication, problem solving and organizational awareness within and across groups in an organization. Some people think of any social event that they provide to their employees as a form of teambuilding. A sense of purpose and design can help make these events useful, but they are not experiential teambuilding just because they involve an activity. Experiential teambuilding combines the technology of experiential learning with the skill sets of corporate teambuilding to provide a highly effective means of internalizing these skills among program participants. The experiential learning process is inherently fun and engaging as well as insightful and educative.
