SOMETHING FOR YOUR TOOLKIT : PHOTO ELICITATION: A NATURE-BASED APPROACH
Photo elicitation has emerged as an effective means of linking experiential and theoretical knowledge through the exploration of values, attitudes, memories and meaning.
This workshop provides a practical demonstration of photo elicitation using a newly devised toolkit which incorporates pictures of the Australian landscape.
We will show how this can be used in primary, secondary, tertiary educational settings along with the field of Adventure Therapy and Personal Development. |
