Himalayan Decision 1 & 2
Stuck in the Himalayas: How Decision Education helped a group of teenagers get unstuck
This two-part decision scenario is a good way to introduce the Decision Chain. Students watch the first video, break out into groups, and decide what they would do in that situation. Then they learn about decision-making, by watching Decision Focus video #1 on the Decision Chain. They can then discuss how they might improve their decision based on what they learned before watching what the trekkers really did.
This video presents a decision situation faced by a group of students from the Riekes Center trekking in Nepal. As the students hike to the town of Manang to visit foreign students, a flood prevents them from continuing to their goal. The students face a decision on what to do in this situation. See the conclusion in The Himalayan Decision: Part Two video.
