Experiential weekend

Yes! Finally! This was our second try to organize an event that would last longer than a few hours and it was one of those events to help us get connected with the students on a more personal level. Our first attempt wasn't met with too much interest and hence had to be cancelled, so we were a little nervous if it'd happen again.

This time again we had to put a lot of effort into getting at least six students to come but we weren't going to give up easily and it was well worth it. The weekend was organized and led by an experienced instructor of experiential pedagogy. To save you from having to google it, it basically means learning through experience, whether it's positive or negative. I'd heard of it a lot before, so I was quite curious to see what it is in practice myself.

We managed to do a ton of really fun and novel activities. We built our own ropes course, walked blindfolded through the woods at night, built a walking "Mayan statue" and many others.

All of us survived and when the end of the weekend neared, none of us wanted to leave.
