Introduction: Experiencing the World

Allan Bird

Chapter 1 in The Palgrave Handbook of Experiential Learning in International Business, 2015, pp 3-11 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract All learning is experiential. Nothing that we know comes from any source other than our own experiences. Think about it. Think of something you know. How did you learn about it? Did you listen to a lecture? You experienced someone telling you about it. Did you learn it through a book? You experienced reading about it. Did you learn it by watching a movie or television programme? You experienced watching it. Did you build something? You experienced doing it. Maybe what you learned came to you in a dream? You experienced that dream. We learn — or at least we have the opportunity to learn — through our experiences. Indeed, it is the only way we do learn.
