What is the Experiential Pedagogy additional qualification (EPZ)?
The Experiential Pedagogy additional qualification (EPZ) conveys fundamental approaches to experiential education, and ensures a high level of competence in experiential education work with a practice-oriented qualification.
In the field of environmental and experiential education, the KSH distinguishes itself with a high level of expertise which stems from tradition and constant further development in this area. The Experiential Pedagogy (EPZ) additional qualification has been offered since 1999.
Goals & abilities
The goal of the EPZ is personal development through holistic and experience-orientated learning in groups, in a natural environment, and through sports activities in nature. In the field of experiential education, our graduates can carry out exercises, seminars and training with different target groups and objectives in various institutions. In particular, they gain a practical insight into youth and social work, and acquire knowledge of the basic environmental topics.
Experiential educators act professionally, responsibly and with pedagogical competence. The management and leadership behaviour is characterised by enabling participants to make their own findings, to experience the interaction between individual and group in a natural and challenging environment, and to transfer this experience to their own daily lives. For us, experiential education represents an approach in an anthropological context, and in practice is a kind of mentoring. It requires constant theoretical and empirical examination.
Costs
The courses themselves are financed through tuition compensation payments, but costs for materials and accommodation must be paid personally:
- EPZ 1 - 4 are a maximum of 50 Euros each
- the 5-day EPZ+ offers are a maximum of 290 Euros each (€110 course fee and €140 - €180 for travel expenses, accommodation, catering)
