What Is Experiential Education?

Experiential education is a pedagogy that provides transformative learning opportunities.

 

Experiential education is a pedagogical process by which educators engage the whole student through a cycle of direct experience, reflection, analysis, and experimentation.

 

 

 

Experiential education prioritizes people, identities, and the environment, addressing justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
 

 

 


Fostering personal connection to deep and applied learning and inspiring growth in both the student and teacher, experiential education engages participants to be active global citizens working for a more just, equitable, and sustainable world where everyone belongs.
