Registration opening soon! Immersive learning experiences engage learners emotionally and therefore leave longer-lasting memories. According to the American neuro-economist Paul Zak, immersion is "a neurologic state in which one is attentive to an experience and it resonates emotionally." How can we make learning more immersive? Bernd Gibson’s DREAM Framework provides the five main elements to turn learning into an immersive experience: Drama, Relations, Emotion, Action and Meaning. In this interactive webinar, Bernd will take participants into the world of Learning Experience Design in an intercultural context. Attendees will playfully engage with these five elements to create their own DREAM experience. Presenter: Bernd Gibson is a Learning Experience Designer in the intercultural field based in France. ’The Immersive Theatre of Learning’, published in 2024, is his first book. In his work, Bernd combines elements of immersive theatre, improvisation, stage design and story to create powerful learning ensembles.

Registration opening soon! Join SIETAR USA’s Webinar Team for our final webinar of 2024. Let’s continue with the lessons of Transformational Learning from our November webinar with Lewis Brown Griggs. Lewis’s experiences and learning centered around his shift from Doing to Being, personal transformations. Transformational Learning is sometimes referred to “Accidental” learning but we can do some planning as well. Together let’s explore what we do want for our growth in 2025 and what might be some beginning steps. And, we’re going into the holiday season so let’s have some fun, too. Even in the midst of Transformational Learning we can’t take ourselves too seriously. As you’re saying farewell to 2024, take a deep centering breath, pause, reflect on 2024, another breath, pause.
