The best way to present experiential learning is to exemplify that learning has to deal real life problems that people are asked to solve in their education and their lives beyond education. The way people face real-life problems may be the difference between employment and unemployment in the 21st century. 

In referring to experience context must be included to bring understanding. Context will always include social justice. Understanding key concepts of White Supremacy, Elitism, Racism, Classism, Sexism, Patriarchy, Ageism and more that dominate the experience of the individual increases effectiveness of teaching. Teachers who are unaware are likely to become unconscious perpetuators of oppression and inadequate to broaden access to higher education for those outside of the dominant groups(White, male, wealthy, heterosexual, etc). Identifying groups of students within higher education in India who have a high drop out rate, underperformance, or fail to engage in higher education is a start. 

Have you explored "gamification" as an area of research reference? There is much going on with engagement level in this arena. Here'a a quick and dirty way to get to the areas of interest http://www.mrcross.org/2014/02/five-excellent-ted-talks-on-gamification.html

Pleased to share a very encouraging feedback received from 20 participants which supports the method chosen. [Refer image attached]

Details of the process of engaging in the session is described in a BLOG

I would recommend a walk and talk session around the gardens of your area. Some specific reflective questions or something that requires creative skills may help.

Avoiding a militaristic approach to learning is very important as the two do not mix.
