Le Frehindi under the patronage of Indian Embassy in Paris conducts various exchange programs, summer camps & winter camps in Europe & India for students of Indian subcontinent & Middle East.
Experiential education is a teaching approach that emphasizes learning through hands-on experiences, reflection, and problem-solving. When used effectively, experiential education can be a powerful tool for developing critical thinking skills.
Key benefits of experiential Learning:
1.Active engagement: One of the key benefits of experiential education is that it allows students to actively engage with the subject matter. Instead of simply reading about a concept or hearing a lecture, students have the opportunity to directly interact with the material. This can help them to develop a deeper understanding of the topic and identify any gaps in their knowledge. At Le Frehindi teacher’s guide the students to do the same through their interactive exchange programs and competitions. Various popular activities are done with Indian students in Le Frehindi scholastic programs which is so much fun & forms lifelong friendships with other students of that region.
2. Critical thinking skills: Experiential education also encourages students to think critically about the experiences they are having. By reflecting on what they have learned and how it relates to their existing knowledge, students can develop a more nuanced understanding of the topic at hand. This can also help them to identify any biases or assumptions they may have had and work to overcome them. Most of the programs developed by Le Frehindi are created from learning from ERASMUS based programs, Hence the programs launched in the Indian subcontinent focus on making students more independent & learning survival skills thus increasing their critical skills through experiencing new Learning enviroment aided by Le Frehindi
3. Problem Solving skills: In addition, experiential education often involves problem-solving and decision-making. Students at Le Frehindi may be given a challenge or task that requires them to think creatively and come up with innovative solutions. This can help them to develop their problem-solving skills and learn how to think outside the box. Le Frehindi tours to Europe and domestic Tours to Auroville in Pondicherry and Mukteshwar in Uttarakhand Himalayas helps student engage more in activities which stimulates their problem solving skills.
4. Building Social Skills: Camping often involves working with others to set up camp, cook meals, and participate in group activities. This can help students develop social skills such as communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution, which are essential for success in both school and in life. Two flagship camps of Le Frehindi in India are already operating in Auroville in Pondicherry & Mukteshwar in Uttarakhand, Himalayas.
Overall, the use of experiential education can be a highly effective way to teach critical thinking skills. By providing students with hands-on experiences, encouraging reflection, and promoting problem-solving, teachers can help their students to develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and become more effective critical thinkers.
