| Speaker: | Ben P. Dyson, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand |
This year's award recipient and speaker is Ben Dyson, Ph.D. from The University of Auckland. In the context of a narrowing school curriculum and high stakes testing in many countries, Dyson will argue that Experiential Education remains meaningful and valuable. He will connect the dots between Experiential Education, Adventure Based Learning, and Cooperative Learning and link these concepts to J.B. Nash’s philosophy of the “hopeful traveler.”
