How learning by doing works on our trips

Experiential learning, or learning by doing, follows a simple cycle: experience something real, reflect on it, connect it to theory and try it again. Our trips build each step in.

  1. Before: a one-page briefing sheet with what to observe
  2. During: a guided visit with an observation task
  3. After: a reflection session linking what students saw to the syllabus

It works for engineering plant visits, field surveys in geography and ecology, and heritage walks in history.
