| Frank Grant United Kingdom | Sexually aggressive behaviour Given that each generation approaches sexualised behaviour in a different manner than the last, practitioners need to be aware of such behaviour and the impact it could have on their practice. This workshop will look at what is meant be 'sexualised behaviour' and 'sexually aggressive behaviour' within the context of child sexual abuse. Adventure therapy and Therapeutic adventure This workshop will look at the differences between the two terminologies often referred to as little 't' and Big 'T' and in particular, how it can be utilised as a tool to aid experiential learning to act as a compensatory therapy for victims of childhood trauma through abuse. We will look at 2 specific case studies to illustrate the differences. This workshop will be at least 3-4 hours duration. |
| Roger Greenaway United Kingdom | Learning from reality and learning from metaphor There are two strong traditions in experiential learning: learning from direct experiences and learning from 'as if' experiences in which storylines or metaphors are the main focus of attention. We will use examples to clarify (and confuse!) these differences and will then explore 'good practices' for working with these different kinds of reality ('real' and 'metaphoric'). Your entry ticket is having two short stories to tell: one illustrating learning from real experience, the other illustrating learning through metaphor. Ideally these stories are about people you have worked with in experiential programmes. As a result of taking part in this workshop you might have a greater awareness of the different levels of reality on which you are working, and you might gain some useful insights into how to work effectively at these different levels. |
| Jac Rongen Gabriel da Fonseca Silke Korner Roger Greenaway | Archery, Aikido and Facilitation Overview: Experience archery and aikido and explore connections with how we facilitate. Themes: Awareness, Exploration, Reflection, Balance, Interaction, Dialogue, Harmony, Calmness. Archery: focusing on 'self', forgetting the bow, and being aware of your breathing. Aikido: exploring 'our selves' and interactions other than 'fight or surrender'. Connections with facilitation: inner focus and outer goal (linked to archery); learning conversations (linked to aikido); bringing 'there and then' into 'here and now' (an approach to facilitating reflection on experience). Participation: This is being offered as an 'all-in-one' three hour workshop. |
| Selim Yazıcı Turkey | Experiential Learning with Sailing This workshop is about using sailing as a vehicle to deliver the benefits of team working training. It explores sailing as an effective training tool for team-working. We will try to explore the principles and methods of team-working on the basis of sailing. We will argue some theoretical basics and some practical activities at the same time. The immediacy of sailing, coupled with the need for teamwork, adds to the powerful impact of our training programs. Being aboard a boat highlights the relevant issues like teamwork, communication, organization, motivation and leadership abilities. So, this is a study about conflict management, time management, people management, communication, creativity, problem solving, motivation, and leadership. I also would like to bring up a discussion related with sailing and adventure education. Duration: 1.5 hours. |

| Johan Boekholt Netherlands | Quality system Quality control is a buzz word for a lot of organisations. In this workshop I will go into the basics of quality control. Amongst other things, this involves disantangling the complex of processes into clear subprocesses, and describing them.

The tools that I use in this training (cartoon movie and Cycle time) will show that a subject like this does not have to be dull or boring. Duration: 1.5 hour |
