We will be holding another 2- Day Why Try experiential hands on activity training on March 20th - 21st, 2008 in Tacoma, WA. 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.
