Learning outcomes
The main goal of the subject is to introduce the basics of experiential education and its possible use in educational and commercial context. Even though some theoretical background will be given, students will also try some activities on their own and will practise competencies required to become a good instructor. Several guests, who use experiential education in their work, will be invited for example instructors from ZDrSEM, who teach first aid by using methods of experiential education, or an instructor from European Federation of Psychology Students Associations.
