Reviewing can happen anywhere, any time.
You don't need a comfortable room and paper and pens to review activities! And you don't need a warm, dry patch of grass to review out of doors!
Why Review Outdoors?
- The outdoors can provide more inspiration and opportunity for reviewing than even the best equipped training room.
- By building reviewing into activities, reviewing is guaranteed to happen.
- You will be more 'in-tune' and 'in-touch' with learners.
- You (and they) will be using the time available more effectively and getting more value.
- Timely reviewing makes activities more rewarding and meaningful (and safer too).
Venue The venue for this workshop should be close to a large garden, park, woodland or wilderness.
Variations Programmes can be readily adapted, combined or created to suit different needs, situations or priorities.
