OUTDOOR EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING is a well recognised method, to draw the best out from participants. In the unfamiliar environment, participants need to give out their best. They need to work as a team and require leaderships from them. After the experience, the facilitators will guide the participants to reflect the process. Their reflections and observations will turn into learning points for the next task. Transfer of learning is the most important part of an outdoor experiential training program. It transfers the findings from the tasks, into the everyday life.
“體驗式學習” （OutdoorExperiential Training ）
是公認有效的學習法，於陌生的戶外環境中，參加者需要發揮潛能，從而更深入地認識自己。通常訓練裡需要團隊合作去完成任務，所以能訓練人際工作技巧和領導力。任務完成後，導師會引導參加者反思活動過程，並從中轉移至日常生活當中。
SAIL TRAINING is an unique outdoor experiential training program. It requires craftsmanship, discipline, endurance as well as flexibility, and these are indeed essential qualities of young leaders. Sail training participants will acquire these qualities by learning to sail a boat. They will sail a boat, plan and execute a journey, and live aboard together. In other words, they are trained to both work effectively as a team and to be strong and independent individuals. However, sail training focus on the external abilities.
“帆船訓練”(Sail Training)
並不是要訓練參加者成為帆船好手;而是透過學習操作、合作駕駛帆船,並配合大自然壯麗環境、與海上不同天氣的挑戰,以及人與人之間的互動、互相守望等的元素,以建立團隊、培訓領導技巧、加強溝通能力、及發展參加者的潛能。 我們認為,帆船訓練的向度對於參加者是有益的,但卻偏向於外在的能力。
SAILING MINISTRY is one more step forward: We provide space for mediation, build up relationship, and explore life values. Instead of focusing on abilities, the inner strengths are even more important. It is the drivers of life. The inner strengths can be replenished by exploring the meaning of life, mediation and build up a supportive network. The ultimate goal of LFL is leading participants to God.
“帆船事工”(Sailing Ministry)
是帆船訓練的延伸,以填補帆船訓練的向內發展。假若只建立了外在的能力而忽略了向內的發展,其訓練果效則偏向短期性、及技術性,卻未能夠持久。故此,我們需要填補內裡的空間,包括探索生命的意義、提供安靜默想的空間、建立支援網絡。 事工的最終目標是讓參加者思考及尋找生命與信仰的源頭。
