• Torstein Låg, Rannveig Grøm Sæle, Oda Bjørnsdatter og Iris Borch: En lære-å-lære-intervensjon for helseprofesjonsstudenter

Mokta 2024

They were EPIC in the US

Our colleagues, Tim Dassler, and Tove I. Dahl attended the International Snow Science Workshop in Bend, Oregon, USA.
Their talk was titled LIFE-LONG LEARNING FOR SAFE MOUNTAIN FUN: TRANSFORMING BACKCOUNTRY
SKIERS´ PRACTICES THROUGH STIMULATING DOUBLE-LOOP LEARNING AT AVALANCHE COURSES by 
Tim Dassler, Tove I. Dahl, Tarjei T. Skille, Gerit Pfuhl, and Richard Fjellaksel 

Fun / Experiential / Transformative / Sticks

Our colleagues, Tim Dassler, and Vetle Lars Wisløff Sandring are developing The Avalanche Game

Can we make teaching and learning about people dynamics on backcountry tours more fun, experiential, and less uncomfortable simultaneously? Can we make it stick?

With The Avalanche Game, we aim to increase avalanche course participants' knowledge about and reflection on what influences human behavior in the mountains. Both on an individual and social level. These experiences take a long time to acquire organically but are still important in practical avalanche decision-making.

 We are departing from a relational ontology focusing on human-human as well as human-nature relations. This game provides a foundation and examples of knowledge about multifaceted interactions in an appropriate setting.

Make learning about what affects what we do in the mountains:

• Fun
• Experiential
• Transformative
• Sticks

We are EPIC at the YFL
