Bali Adventure Service Center - The initial idea behind Outward Bound or more known as outbound, is that people can grow through challenge. The word "Outward Bound" derives from the Blue Peter flag, which signaled that a ship was soon to depart. Symbolically, then, Outward Bound as a program and organization mean “helping people to head out bravely into unknown waters”. Outbound has played a significant role in the development of outdoor education as a whole. The programs have significantly influenced and helped spawn many other educational experiments, schools, and training methods.

Experiential Learning ~ Part 2Sunday, 10 October 2010 The vast majority of teaching and training in education and work continues to be conventional, narrow and highly prescribed - not experiential.
