Communication Exercise

What type of communication exercise are you looking for? Is it an exercise to improve your team’s communication? Is it a exercise to improve your whole organization’s communication?

Whatever communication exercise you want, what you are looking for falls within the realm of the experiential education field.

Rather than offering you specific exercises (there are virtually hundreds of them), I offer you a couple of specialized organizations’ names, plus a small bibliography:
