11th International Conference on Experiential Learning - Sydney December 8 - 12, 2008

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Greg,
every week I receive invitations to events that want to make a 
contribution to the challenges of the new millenium, pointing to the 
need for experienced based learning that is integrating, contextual, 
sustainable, engaging and holistic and some other things.
Clear challenge.
What follows, as is also the case for the 11th International Conference 
on Experiential Learning, is the description of a form that seems to 
have little relation to the function. It is simply the kind of design 
thats been around for decades, ignoring the great tools we have been 
developing in the last 20-25 years that do meet the requirements stated 
in the invitation.
Why is that?
Greetings from Berlin
