On 8 Oct 2011 Facilitators@NUS had a 1-day exchange programme with student facilitators from Temasek Polytechnic, aptly named as Experiential Learning Facilitators, or ELFs. This is the first time that Facilitators@NUS had interacted with a student facilitators group of another tertiary institute, and it was a most interesting programme for both groups to see, and learn from differing experential learning styles.

The Temasek Polytechnic ELFs started off the day by conducting Parachute Blow Wind Blow, an energiser which had student facilitators from both groups scrambling to escape from being trapped under a giant parachute, and also had us warmed up to each other. IT was followed by a Trust Fall for Facilitators@NUS, a build-up to the ensuing high element activity challenge, which involved walking on steel strings literally suspended tens of feet in the air.

For the 2nd half of the programme, Facilitators@NUS conducted a “It Can be Done!” workshop for the ELFs, putting them to work into solving a Fork, Spoon and Matchstick challenge, as well as Time Warp, a team challenge for the ELFs to observe how a game can help in building up teamwork.

At the end of the 1-day programme, both groups learnt more about each other’s experential learning facilitating styles and activities, and forged new friendships. It was a fruitful programme for both groups certainly.

From the 20th to 22nd Sept, Facilitators@NUS sent a team of student faciltiators to the Student Leaders Induction Camp, or SLiC, to facilitate the debriefing of camp activities. SLiC was organised by the Office of Student Affairs for teambuilding and leadership training of student leaders, and saw more than 80 student leaders from the university’s various clubs and societies.

On the 1st day, student facilitator Jaslin conducted several energisers/icebreakers which included “Aye Aye Captain” and “Quick Draw” which saw some participants bringing out their pirate-acting skills to the best, and warming up to each other at the same time.

At the end of team-building challenges across the terrains of Kota Rainforest Resort, student facilitators were with each team to help the team review their team performance, discuss their experience, and explore how they can continue to further improve as one team.
