Experiential learning presents the pedagogy for the education categories, usually tagged as "project-based" or "experience-based" and attribute to educational programs such as the Youth Development Program, and Art and Design education. Experiential learning is the foundation for teaching different skills, and the procedure of departing from "apprentice" to "journeyman" which include the developments of understanding and skills.
