The training, offered by DWC and Creative Learning Systems, Auckland, New Zealand & Vienna, Austria, will take place on August 24, 2009 at Dubai Women's College.
For over 20 years, DWC has been an HCT flagship institution providing world-class education for women in the UAE. With a mission supported by the ELITE principles: Excellence, Leadership, Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship, DWC has been recognized as being at the pinnacle of higher education in UAE.
The Learning Styles training will gather around 30 DWC participants, including learning facilitators, career counselors and human resources professionals.
Maureen Cocksedge, organizer of the event and DWC Business faculty member, said that people in conventional educational settings may not know how to learn or work in the way their brain naturally prefers.
Cocksedge also mentioned that the training course is led by the Barbara Prashnig, the Founding Director of the Creative Learning Systems (CLS) in Auckland, who is also the author of many books such as 'Learning Styles in Action' and 'Learning Styles & Personalized Teaching' that have been translated into Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian and German.
According to Prashnig, the complexity of learning is an interplay of head, heart and hand, or thinking, feeling and doing. This gives rise to the intricate question of how can young people or professionals learn in a sustainable, successful way.
"Everyone has a thinking style, learning style and working style as unique as our finger prints," she concluded.
