Outward Bound Training Methodology
While on an Outward Bound Course, you will be involved in a variety of stimulating and challenging activities which promote self-discovery and a greater awareness of your potential. Participants in all courses are given Team Initiative and Problem solving (TIPS) tasks which they have to accomplish. Most of the Outward Bound activities and scenarios are outdoor oriented tasks and exercises in which teams have to resolve projects and accomplish goals requiring perseverance, creative thinking, corporation, concern for others and an appreciation of the natural environment.At Outward Bound therefore, learning and development occurs as a result of the interaction between each individual, challenging circumstances and the environment.
Debriefs, discussions, appraisals and reflections are conducted at the end of each exercise so that the knowledge gained from such events are made relevant and transferable to the everyday situations.
