> 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.
