What is Outward Bound?
Outbound training, also called outbound, originally meant that a small boat left a calm harbor and plunged into an unknown journey without hesitation to meet challenges again and again. This kind of training originated in England during World War II. At that time, the Atlantic commercial fleet was repeatedly attacked by the Germans, causing many people to die at the bottom of the sea. But people are surprised to find that those who can survive are not the strongest and the best swimmers, but those who have strong will and strong desire to survive, rich life experience and skills. In view of this situation, Hans and others founded Aberdeen Weihai School to train seafarers' psychological quality and survival skills by using natural conditions and artificial facilities. After the war, the use value of maritime training schools was greatly reduced, but outward bound training attracted more and more attention with its unique charm. A group of people of insight discovered its most valuable aspects, and incorporated management psychology, organizational behavior, developmental psychology and other theories into it, and developed a set of courses adapted to enterprise management norms and team building with the training mode of outward bound training as the carrier. Because this kind of training has a very novel training form and good training effect, it has quickly become popular in the field of management education and training in Europe and developed all over the world in the next half century.
