Memorable moments for effective learning
Memorable moments make for effective learning. Social Now is packed of memorable moments: the relaxed seated lunches with tasty Portuguese food, the warm sunlight and drinks in a Lisbon rooftop, the sightseeing tour of Lisbon and all the amazing conversations.
According to Dugan Laird’s sensory learning theory, effective learning takes place when all the senses are stimulated.
The fact that we spend so much time in online, sitting at the same desk, in the same physical space, day after day, means that not much learning is happening.
That is why, year after year, we work hard to create a great sensory learning experience so that you get maximum return for the time and money invested to attend Social Now.
This year is no exception. We jam-packed the agenda with memorable moments:
- the launch of Céline Schillinger’s book Dare to Un-Lead with a rooftop party;
- networking dinner at the end of day 1;
- the hands-on session using Liberating Structures;
- the Lisbon bus tour the morning after Social Now.
And we even have Silvia Rivela’s talk on creating engaged teams through meaningful moments.
This year, on Saturday, 21 May, the day after Social Now, we will be inviting participants and their families to enjoy a complimentary bus tour of Lisbon, kindly offered by the Lisbon City Council.
The bus will leave the Jupiter Lisboa Hotel, the conference venue, at 10.30am on Saturday and arrive approximately 2 hours later at the same location.
