BTC- 2026 -E2 - Experiential Learning

Join host Nicole MacDougall and Cape Breton University faculty members Jennifer Currie, Katie Tremblay, and Simon Barrick for an inspiring look at the transformative power of experiential learning. In this episode you will discover how students bridge the gap between theory and practice by engaging in real-world projects, from acting as sports consultants for the World Women’s Curling Championships to volunteering with the Celtic Colours International Festival. Learn why moving away from traditional lectures to focus on activity, reflection, and community connection creates "enduring understandings" and deep knowing that traditional classroom settings simply cannot match.
