About us
Purpose
Why do experiential training on a challenge course?
It's been proven time and again...people learn best by being challenged and actively involved in their learning. That's why action learning is one of the most effective means of fostering cooperation and positive change in the work and school environments. It focuses on learning that involves the whole person and thus applies the learning in all aspects of being.
The challenge course simulates the work and school environments, thereby creating a metaphoric practice field where strategies and lessons can quickly and actively be applied. While engaged in the learning initiatives, participants use "out of the box" thinking and their group intelligence and decision-making processes to lift the team to success and growth. Trained facilitators guide the team in discussions that emphasize direct application to similar challenges in the workplace, school or community.
