In this conversation, Romy Alexandra discusses the concept of experiential learning, sharing her personal journey and insights into how experiential education can transform traditional learning methods. She emphasizes the importance of engaging learners through experience, reflection, and action, and explores the experiential learning cycle and various learning styles. The discussion also highlights the significance of reflection in the learning process and how it can be made more engaging. Romy shares practical strategies for facilitators to enhance their teaching methods and the need to bridge theory and practice in education.  

• Experiential learning is about learning through experience, reflection, thinking, and acting.
• Reflection is essential for deep learning and should be varied to keep it engaging.
• Learning styles are preferences that can change over time and should not box learners in.
• The experiential learning cycle can be applied to all aspects of life, not just formal education.
• Peer learning is often more impactful than facilitator-led instruction.
• Creating a safe space for reflection can lead to powerful insights and learning outcomes.
• Facilitators should strive to engage all learning styles in their teaching methods.
• The journey of learning is continuous and can spiral into deeper understanding and action.
