- to gain funding for developing the resource publication
Final Report - October 2007 The book has been the fasted selling publication we have known from Oasis - it has resulted in further interest in the GRLI and whole person learning more specifically. Bryce has represented the approach at efmd Rouen Conference 2007 for business educators etc.
2nd report - October 2006: In preparation for the Whole Person Learning process in April 2007, Barloworld have decided to support the development by The Oasis School of a publication aimed at becoming a global resource for Whole Person Learning - thinking and practice.
The audience - For existing teaching, faculty and training staff who are looking at new methods
- For facilitators wanting to deepen their understanding of their own practice

Possible impact - Provide the first user-friendly introduction and overview to the field
- Provide a focal point for developing facilitators either via GRLI, Oasis, Barloworld or, partner organisations.
- Help establish the value importance and relevance of WPL approaches for adults in contemporary settings dealing with current issues.
- Become a standard reference work for those GRLI programmes or elements of programmes applying WPL and beyond
- Link the GRLI work to wider questions of educational facilitation
