The programme
The daily themes
More detail about the programmeEach day from Monday to Friday is based on a key theme that is actively explored through a mixture of inputs, discussions and exercises. Most of the event will follow the principles of experience-based learning. We will be drawing on experiences that happen during the course as well as on your own previous experiences as a trainer or participant on outdoor courses. Two courses in one The whole programme (mornings, afternoons and evenings) is designed as a trainer-training event, but in the mornings you will be a participant on an outdoor training course. Experiences from the morning activities will be carried forward into the afternoon when we will actively explore the theme for the day from a trainer-training perspective. Outdoor activities Final decisions about outdoor activities will be taken during the programme itself - depending on the weather, river conditions and on the previous experience of participants. You may find yourself on a walk, a bike ride, canoeing or climbing. Weather permitting most of the course will be outdoors, and there will be a number of short outdoor training games and activities. Sunday The programme starts on Sunday evening with gentle introductory activities. Monday - Starting a course You will be taking part in sessions and activities that can be used near the beginning of an outdoor training event. The emphasis will be on ways of setting up a supportive and dynamic learning environment. This includes ensuring that each learner knows how to get the best out of the opportunity - and is motivated to do so. You will also be trying out reviewing techniques that can help to accelerate learning at this early stage of a programme. Tuesday - Groups and Teams This day provides an intensive grounding in group dynamics and teamwork. The morning will involve a wide variety of short teamwork tasks. The main purpose will be to build the team and accelerate group development. Even where outdoor courses have aims other than team building, it is still important to create a team that will work well together. A range of strategies, exercises and reviewing tools for team and group development will be tried out and compared. Wednesday - Individuals The emphasis today is on individuals. It is a deliberate contrast to yesterday’s emphasis on the group. We will explore designs, activities and reviewing tools that help individuals learn about themselves and achieve personal targets. Giving sufficient attention to each individual is always important, but especially when the programme aims to build confidence, provide assessment or develop leadership and management skills. There will also be opportunities to explore ways of working with other individual objectives that feature in your training programmes. Thursday - Learning to learn This is ‘learning to learn’ day. This is one of the most powerful benefits that people can take away from an outdoor training course. In the morning you will be asked to take part in a skills swap shop. Do you have a skill (outdoors or indoors) that you would like to pass on to others? Any skills (from work or leisure) e.g. musical, creative, physical, dancing, circus or magic tricks, martial arts, yoga, survival skills. Please bring any equipment or resources you might need to conduct a 30 minute taster session for anyone who wants to learn your skill. The rest of the day explores how you can develop learning, coaching and facilitation skills during an outdoor training programme. Friday - Ending a course ‘Powerful endings’ - how to conclude experience-based training events for maximum value and transfer. The day begins with concluding the morning course. This will involve active reviewing of the previous four mornings, and various exercises for carrying your learning into the future. The afternoon brings together your learning from the trainer-training event as a whole and provides you with ideas and strategies for your further professional development experience-based training. As well as carrying out evaluation throughout the five days, you will also have a chance to explore evaluation as a topic on this final day. Dr. Roger GreenawayRoger
