Subject:        	ICEL 2000 - call for proposals 

Proposals are invited for presentations at ICEL 2000 - the seventh
gathering of the International Consortium for Experiential Learning,
to be held at the University of Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand, from 4
to 8 December 2000.

Proposals may take the form of:
 Papers
 Workshops
 Symposia
 Seminars
 Discussion Groups
 Posters and displays
 Happenings

related to the experiential learning generally, and especially to the
theme of the conference:  "Bringing the outside inside: Experiential
learning as the mainstream for the third millennium, highlighting the
power and role of experiential learning in social change and
development and the role of experiential learning in the
reconstruction of educational and organizational practice".

The conference will seek to challenge us to reflect on the relevance
of experiential learning in efforts to build a more just and open
society, and on the role of experiential learning, its facilitation,
encouragement and recognition, in enabling personal and local action
to have regional and global impact in the reconstruction and holistic,
sustainable development of our world.

We particularly encourage workshops and other presentations in which a
high degree of audience participation is possible and encouraged.

We will try to group papers together into symposia, and we encourage
all presenters to speak to their papers rather than simply read a
written text.  All abstracts (for papers, posters, symposia and other
presentations) will be refereed.  We will also arrange for papers to
be refereed when this is requested.  Refereed papers regarded as
suitable for publication will be included in the published Proceedings
of the Conference.  We will be asking presenters of papers, whether
refereed or not, to let us have copies of the full text of the paper
several weeks in advance of the Conference, so that they can be
circulated to other presenters in the same group, to stimulate an
exchange of ideas and views during the presentations, rather than
simply having a sequence of loosely related discourses.

Although the details cannot be worked out until we know how many
presentations are offered and accepted, we intend to have a few
plenary presentations (keynote speakers and/or symposia) followed by
papers and workshops in the mornings, and reserve most afternoons for
a choice of site visits which will form an integral part of the
Conference, and which, we hope, will result in enjoyable and valuable
experiential learning by all participants.

We will also assist individuals and groups wishing to run pre- and
post-conference workshops and activities to do so.

Format

Your proposal does not have to follow any particular format, but it
should state clearly (a) who you are, (b) how we can contact you, (c)
what you intend doing, (d) if you are giving a paper, do you wish the
full paper to be peer-reviewed, and (e) what the presentation will be
about (title / topic). Include (f) an abstract or description of the
intended content of your presentation; along with information about
(g) what kind of audience involvement you would like (and how you
propose to try to secure this), (h) what limits (if any) need to be
placed on the number of people attending your presentation, (i) how
much time you will need, (j) what equipment and facilities you are
likely need; and, finally, some biographical information about
yourself, and especially on your involvement and interests in
fostering experiential learning. 

Send your proposal by regular or electronic mail or fax to:

 Dr Richard A. Benton
 James Henare Maori Research Centre
 University of Auckland
 Private Bag 92-019
 Auckland
 Aotearoa / New Zealand

 Fax: +64 9 373-7458

 E-mail: [log in to unmask]

Deadline for proposals is 15 AUGUST 2000 

Earlier submission would, however, be greatly appreciated. If too many
acceptable proposals are received in any category, priority for
inclusion will be determined by order of receipt.
