Mobile problem solving tasks
These tasks are designed to encourage cooperative problem solving. They require a thinking approach that benefits from the creativity of many minds. The timetable always allows for a period of reflection and review following the problem-solving activity, facilitated by our trained instructors or programme facilitator, to stimulate appropriate discussion and action points.
There is a large choice of tasks and we will always suggest the most relevant and appropriate for your programme, often tailoring a task to meet specific requirements.
