The facilitator of this workshop is no longer able to join us in person.

Get ready to break out of the monotony of traditional meetings and events and unleash your creativity and collaboration skills! Join us for an interactive half-day virtual workshop filled with seriously fun techniques from Liberating Structures.
You'll get to experience several dynamic and engaging methods that you will be able to use virtually or in person.
With Liberating Structures, everyone gets to contribute, regardless of their level of expertise or authority. You'll learn how to involve every participant, generate fresh ideas, and promote active engagement within your group.
After experiencing each technique, we'll put on our "facilitator hats" and debrief together, discussing design and facilitation considerations across different contexts. So join us for a session of serious fun and liberation!
By the end of this session you will be able to:
-
Describe what Liberating Structures are and how they can engage participants in your meetings and learning events
-
Extrapolate knowledge and skills to apply these facilitation methods to your own work context
-
Access additional resources and supports for future work with Liberating Structures
