Learning styles: There are 4 different styles of learning they are: Auditory Visual Kinaesthetic Mixed Auditory: Think of this is a lecturers speaking to a class, talking through the work. Visual: A demonstration of the task helps them visualise how the task is done. Kinaesthetic: learn by doing, they would rather try something to understand it. Mixed is a collaboration of all three learning styles. Once you have discussed these with the young leaders you should share what type of learner you are and ask the young leaders if they can identify what type of learner they are. This will help to make the connection between the learning styles and practical ways this can be used in weekly meetings. Get the young leaders to think about the advantages and disadvantages of each learning style, what learning style would work well with different activities. LIFE CHANGING ADVENTURE
