'Outward-Bound’
Learning Methodology (OBL) is used to
simulate and motivate participants. The framework and design of these
wilderness programs are such that it creates a series of intense, life like
experiences and simulations that engage participants by enabling them to get in
touch with their mental and physical capacities, which perhaps have been eroded
over the years.
People are stretched
in the outdoors. Activities are difficult enough to cause pain and frustration.
These are two of our most common blocks. Participants need to learn how to
overcome them. Difficult activities teach possibly the greatest of human
lessons — humility. And yet, conversely, in learning humility, self-esteem is
built up. Participants learn that ‘to rise one must first learn to fall’.
Outward Bound was conceived by its
inspirational founder, Dr.Kurt Hahn, as a short, intense exposure to a series
of "life experiences" in order to enhance the psychological fortitude
of young merchant navy seamen who were dying at alarming rates in the Atlantic
during World War II. The original
Outward Bound programs focused on character development via physical fitness
training, outdoor expeditions, skills training, and community service. Outward
Bound survived and thrived well beyond its original intention.
