Mobile Team Challenge Exercises

Guiding Thought

Innovative learning and self-discovery develops knowledge; reflection on the experience develops awareness; and application of the learning develops understanding.

Purpose of the Activities

These dynamic activities are based on the Experiential Learning Model, which is made up of 4 distinctive phases: Challenge, Experience, Reflection and Application. In the Challenge phase, the individual or group is responsible for discovering the solution and going through the process. During the Experience phase, the participants go through the process of self-discovery, working together by trial and error and finding solutions. In the Reflection phase, the group reflects on the process; come to understand what happened and its relevance; focus on the solutions, the metaphors which create self-awareness. In the final Application phase, the participants identify real life example taking place. Relevant models for the transfer of the learning are developed and shared, lessons are applied and plans developed.
