Experiential education.  What does that really mean?  What is it all about?  More importantly, and after this Nick-Cottoninterview you will also ask, why are we not doing it more in our regular classes?
Today I talk with Nick Cotton, Executive Director for Outward Bound of Hong Kong.
Nick takes us through the activities that are part of Outward Bound, the types of students that are part of the program and the long lasting impact generated when people “truly discover what they are capable of.”
