We
will be holding another 2- Day Why Try
experiential hands on activity training on May 8th - 9th, 2008 in Durham NC. This training is being sponsored by CISNC ( Communities in Schools North Carolina). The training will focus on the
two different hands-on group experiential activities
for
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
environments for increasing participation and learning
among those involved. If you run groups, or teach a
class, you won’t want to miss this training opportunity..
