Experiential Techniques
Experiential Techniques
These are techniques which involve learning by doing – but are not necessarily real life situations as with participatory education. They may involve activities with a shorter time
frame, within a larger training or meeting. For example: they might be role plays, games, popular theater, or practice sessions for public speaking, writing, interviews, etc.
FACILITATION TIP:
These techniques can serve many purposes. They can transform an abstract topic into something very relatable and meaningful for a person. They can be great ways to build personal skills, as well as to help create community. They also can do double duty as “energizers” for a group by generating more energy
and enthusiasm in a room. “Live Illustrations” are one simple, fun technique to make certain facts or conditions more understandable and very vivid. Check out our Tools & Techniques section for explanations about this and other relevant tools. [put a jump here]
