Description:
The Adventure Trail is a brilliant opportunity for you to learn an innovative new approach to team development, that is as easy as a walk in the park. On day one, you'll learn by doing and on day two, you'll get to lead a miniature expedition of 12 people at the start of the AEE conference, immersed in the natural setting of YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly.
An introduction to the content of an Adventure Trail expedition, team development, the five stages of group formation and facilitation skills appropriate for on-the-trail events.
Pre-Conference sessions (Extended Education) take place prior to the start of the 2022 International Conference, and are in-depth workshops and activities that provide an expanded opportunity for professional development.
