The outbound training programme uses physical challenges in outdoor settings combined with facilitation to enhance skills like teamwork, communication, leadership, problem solving, and personality development. It is based on the educational philosophy of Kurt Hahn, who believed in real, action-oriented experiences. The training involves framing activities, implementing a series of tasks, and debriefing afterwards to help participants reflect on what they learned. Some common learning activities include initiative tasks, challenge courses, and wilderness adventures. Advantages include developing skills in a holistic way through concrete, engaging activities that incorporate an acceptable level of risk.
