will be holding another 2- Day Why Try
experiential hands on activity training on April 24th - 25th, 2008 in Jackson, MI. The training will focus on the
two different hands-on group experiential activities

each Why
Try visual metaphor. The training will cover materials
needed, safety rules, set-up, the activity, and processing
the activity back to the visual metaphor. The hands-on
learning activities are particularly helpful in group
