Personality Development Programs
The
outdoors provides an extremely powerful medium for training students in new
skills or helping them to improve old ones, largely because outdoor learning
is experiential in nature.
Experiential learning has evolved to provide effective means for people to continue
to learn and develop throughout life. We all learn through experience:
By burning ourselves we learn to avoid heated objects, by testing our parents'
patience we learn about the acceptable standards of behavior and the consequences
of transgressing. Some things simply cannot be learnt from books or lectures.
Examples range from riding a bicycle to making friends. So experiential learning
is a natural and constant life process on which all-developmental training,
particularly PDOP aims to capitalize.
In our program, students are encouraged to experiment, try new behaviors and
draw their own conclusions. Theories appropriate to the situation are then presented
to them to help them develop frameworks to fit their own unique requirements
and environments.
"Learning through experience" is what we believe in, and so we present
the participants exclusively with concrete tasks in the open, which can be accomplished
only by using head, hand, and heart.
We provide an encouraging physical and psychological security framework for
these experiences, as well as theoretical and practical aids.
A typical two or three day workshop program comprises a combination of:
· Short "ice-breakers" where participants work in pairs
or a whole group;
· 1 to 2 hour tasks where groups work in parallel or in collaboration;
· Outdoor tasks which may be on land or in water (e.g. rock climbing,
rafting, kayaking, trekking, camping, rappelling);
· "Low-ropes" as well as some "high-ropes" course
elements (the latter are tasks that take place approximately 30ft above the
ground);
Each task is followed by a debriefing session where the experience is reviewed,
analyzed, and transfer objectives developed.
We custom design all tasks to meet the Schools' needs and ensure that they
are not just challenging, but also safe, fun and educational
Benefits for Students
Since the objective of this program is to focus on Teamwork and Interpersonal
Skills Management, the program would provide ample opportunity for the participants
to understand its importance and develop better relationships. It helps the
students appreciate the changes they will encounter later in life.
The program will also provide an insight to behavior patterns of the self
in different situations, will help in overcoming areas of concern or weaknesses
and provide a platform for all-round development of the personality.
It
is commonly believed that OUTBOUND programs are highly physical and demanding.
While some programs are, if this medium is as powerful as we believe it to
be, it should be as universally accessible as possible. Therefore the roles
and opportunities are designed for the participant who may have physical limitations
of weight etc or a weak disposition or just afraid of heights.
Our belief is that these conditions after all do not usually prevent the participant
from performing in their work place, so should not on the program.
Safety
Safety has been the overriding concern in all the practical exercises. This
is particularly true in the outdoor, where the potential for danger is often
higher. Even when the tasks are relatively innocuous, there is always some
risk. People can do or attempt to do strange things under the pressure of
an outdoor learning event.
Participants, therefore find some of our safety guidelines pedantic or petty.
We make no apologies towards it, rather we would point to our successful safety
record. In the final analysis, the OUTBOUND is a medium for Personality Development,
not for generating danger, fear or excitement.
Activity Description
Following please find a brief description of activities for the program.
ROPES COURSES
Ropes Courses are today forming an integral part to any outdoor training programs.
Initialy Ropes Courses formed a part of an Obstacle course used in the paramilitary
forces for training. Today Ropes Courses are much more technical and involve
a completely separate expertise.
Burma Bridge
A Burma Bridge is a simple rope bridge over a stream or an obstacle which
was extensively used by Japanese army when they invaded India through Burma.
Some bridges are more than 100 mtrs long and are constructed with ropes made
of bark of trees and its branches. Many Himalayan states of India like Arunachal
Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and J & K still use such bridges across many
rivers and streams.
Parallel Ropes & Swings
Parallel Ropes is just another version of a Burma Bridge which is much faster
to construct but at the same time not as stable. Listen to the safety instructions
carefully before attempting the Parellal ropes and Swings
Fidget Ladder
This ladder is not as easy as it looks. A favorite with outdoor training programs,
the Fidget Ladder is an interesting way to make a ladder using ropes and bamboo.
All you have to do is cross over.
The Flying Fox / Zip Wire
This exciting high rope course requires some guts and a feel for heights.
Climb on to the Machaan hook into your harness, clip on to the pulley and
jump. Simple !!!
A Zip wire is a frequently used exercise to teach people how to be daring
and take that extra step in life.
Jumar Climbing
Jumars are frequently used tools on mountaineering expeditions. This unique
contraption is used to scale over hangs and steep inclines aided by one way
friction control. Use these Jumars to climb the hanging rope.
GROUP
GAMES
Blindfold Rope Square :
A simple team game where blindfolded participants make geometrical shapes
out of ropes. The exercise is ideal for team dynamics and planing.
The Log Walk
Participants are required to stand on two logs with one foot on each. A minimum
of six participants are required for this exercise. Aim is to coordinate your
movements with the rest of the group and walk with lifting the logs together.
Hug your Tree
This experience in nature involves blindfolded participants. They are taken
to a tree and told to know the tree by hugging the tree and talking to it.
After a while they are led away and are told to identify the tree without
the blind fold. Once they find the tree then we tell them all we know about
the tree.
Trust Fall
The trust fall is a powerful exercise which forces the participant to trust
in his team. The participant stands on a high platform and falls blindfolded
into the waiting arms of his teams. Many people have been known to back out
of this exercise.
