in:Expeditions has organised learning expeditions since 2015 for companies, institutions and schools: EDHEC Business School, emlyon business school, Sciences Po Bordeaux and INSP have travelled with us. A class, a cohort or a group of apprentices meets the people behind impact projects in the field, chosen from a map of 2,500 initiatives.
A learning expedition takes a course out of the classroom. Students see how a company changed its model, how a city adapts to the climate, how a cooperative makes decisions, and they question the people who did it, with their figures and their mistakes.
It rests on experiential learning, described in 1984 by the psychologist David Kolb: live a situation, observe it, draw an idea from it, try it. Every encounter is prepared before departure and debriefed in a workshop afterwards.
Learning objectives are set with the teaching team. Those of the catalogue: build and share a strategic vision, design and carry out innovative actions, connect a profession to the major transitions.
Most destinations in the catalogue can be reached by train from Paris. Prices are per person, excluding VAT, for at least 10 people.
The quote starts from the brief. Tell us the group size, possible dates, level of study and what students should bring back: we come back to you with a first programme idea.
