Team courses & experiential education: Why now is the perfect time for a comeback!

Oct 2^nd 2024

Experiential education facilities experienced a real boom in the early 2000s. Between 2002 and 2008, high ropes courses, climbing parks, and similar venues became a staple of team-building activities and educational programmes across Germany and Europe.

During this time, businesses, schools, and training centres recognised the potential of such facilities to develop social skills, strengthen team spirit, and help individuals push their personal boundaries. fascinatour was a pioneer in this field, building the first experiential education facility in Germany, laying the foundation for an impressive evolution.

The Golden Years and the Shift

During this boom period, it became almost second nature for companies to send their managers and staff to high ropes courses to strengthen team cohesion and tackle challenges together.

Schools and youth hostels also incorporated experiential education into their programmes, offering students and young people valuable experiences outside the classroom. However, over time, the focus shifted towards other trends and activities, leading to a decline in demand for experiential education facilities.

The Revival of Experiential Education Facilities

In an era marked by digitalisation and social isolation, the value of shared, experience-based activities is becoming increasingly apparent.

Soft skills like teamwork, communication, and resilience are now more important than ever. High ropes courses or low ropes challenges provide a practical way to develop these abilities. Young people, apprentices, teams, or managers can gain vital experience in a safe yet challenging environment, which significantly supports both their personal and professional growth.

As a result, experiential education facilities today offer the perfect solution to foster trust, communication, and resilience—crucial skills that are indispensable in our modern work and personal lives.
