What’s in This Chapter
• 22 learning activities for use in the workshop sessions

To facilitate adult learning, learning activities take place regularly throughout the workshops. Their purpose is to challenge and engage learners by breaking up any monotony, providing stimulation for different types of learners, and helping them actively acquire new knowledge. Such activities enliven and invigorate the experience, and they help learning “stick.”
Each learning activity provides detailed information about learning objectives, materials required, timeframe, step-by-step instructions, variations, and debriefing questions if required. Use the following instructions to prepare your workshop agenda, identify and gather materials needed, and successfully guide learners through the activity. The following learning activities provide various experiences to offer your participants in support of the topics covered in the workshop. See Chapter 15 for information on how to download these and other workshop support materials provided with this book.
