With our collective inspiration we can make a difference!
Our Approach
Our approach will be based on self directed, whole person development and will encourage curiosity, personal experiential learning and action research. We will provide advice and support to inspire trainees to turn their ideas into action.
Riversmeet Principles of Learning:
- Collaborative: Those involved share the decision-making process.
- Participative: People are involved in contributing to determining the structure, form and content of their roles and the work.
- Experiential: Based on the experience of the person and direct application in their life and community.
- Creative: Fostering a cycle of learning that builds a capacity for creative manifestation and personal growth.
- Multi-Disciplinary & Holistic: Open to and seeking a synthesis of diverse influences from all fields of Knowledge.
- Self and peer based: Processes are based on the principle of equality and personal responsibility rather than authority.
- Developmental: Learning is based on a developmental view of the individual in a process of personal evolution.
- Personal Responsibility: individual responsibility and accountability for personal learning.
- Within a Global Context: Embedded in a Planetary Context of Human relationship to the Natural World
