Experiential Learning in Barcelona: Sustainable Tourism and Travel Psychology in Practice

Description

Concept by Marta Mandolini

The course takes a contemporary approach to travel and the discovery of a new environment, introducing participants to Experiential Travel, as well as Environmental and Tourism Psychology through experiencing the city of Barcelona in a dynamic way. 

By bringing our attention, memory, perception, movement, and feelings to key aspects of the city, participants will learn how experiencing an environment in an unusual way can be a great tool to maintain their students’ attention and to stimulate their motivation and interest in learning. 

Each lesson includes a theoretical section (slides, case presentation, talk) and a practical section (group exercises, personal activities). 

Participants will be involved in an active learning process, focusing on personal experience and self-expression, and combining cognitive and emotional elements. In this way, the learning process is made easier and the course content is better retained by the participants.

 Fully Fundable: tailored on Erasmus+ budgets

 Flexibility Guaranteed: easy changes with minimal restrictions

The Application, the slide presentation, and the outdoor experience were all fantastic. The attention to detail in the application made it user-friendly and efficient. The slide presentation was visually appealing and effectively conveyed the key information. Additionally, the outdoor activities provided a refreshing and engaging way to learn.
