What are the benefits of Experiential Learning?

Experiential learning brings the real world and learning concepts together. Participants are placed in a situation with real-life context and high authenticity and are challenged to live through it for themselves. Based on this first-hand encounter, they reflect and develop ideas that are applicable for their unique leadership and organizational objectives. The outcomes of experiential learning are characterized by higher relevance, increased buy-in, broader ownership, and more sustainable impact.
