Learning Journeys
Contents
Background & Purpose
- To better understand a social issue, empathise with the problems faced by a community, or appreciate the work of organisations engaged in positive social change.
- These will be conducted via experiential learning, via interaction with communities or immersion in a locality; and there should be opportunities for reflections and mutual sharing among participants.
- Non-profit organisations, civic groups, ground up initiatives, government agencies and corporations can host learning journeys as long as it achieves the above objectives.
