NOLS faculty work with students in inspiring places and we all acknowledge the lessons the wilderness can teach, but how do we facilitate that learning and transference? How do we help students reflect on the decisions made, the group dynamics at play, and the role they each play in the expedition? This interactive workshop will focus on concrete tools for facilitating effective debriefs of experiences. Come ready to practice helping students figure out “so, what just happened?!”
