Active Learning

Create more powerful learning opportunities for youth

Do you know the difference between active learning and “hands-on” learning? Giving youth materials is just the beginning. This interactive workshop introduces strategies for incorporating active learning, and helps participants create more powerful learning opportunities for youth.

Active learning occurs when young people actively process, rather than passively receive information. Adults can promote active learning by providing content that is challenging, meaningful, and focused on skillbuilding, and by providing strong support for youth as they learn.

Participants will:

• Experience active learning first hand
• Gain experience building the six principals of Active Learning into their program
