Experiential Absorbent Learning (EAL)
Experiential Absorbent Learning is when you leave your comfort zone. You thrust yourself into new varied experiences, and then absorb the effects.
Experiential Absorbent Learning gives you the ability, and desire, to understand alternative points of view. This is essential for respectfully participating in the world around you. It provides you with the outlook necessary to apply your acquired knowledge in ways that are ethical and empathetic. Thus, it is the most important of the Absorbent Learning types.
