Liberating Structures provide participatory, empowering alternatives to conventional ways of facilitating meetings and conversations in organizational settings. The collection of 33 simple yet effective ‘change methods’ – ways to change a meeting/discussion – and facilitation techniques help increase the meaningful involvement of all participants.
Liberating Structures provide fun, energetic ways to get people talking about their collective expertise, organizational processes, project results, and/or (future) strategies and solutions. Although Liberating Structuresdo not require extensive training, they are best experienced first-hand in an immersion workshop.
Our workshops provide a deep dive deep into the game-changing world of ‘Liberating Structures,’ where participants have the opportunity to experience first-hand how Liberating Structurestransform group discussions, meetings, and collaborative processes. Participants gain new insights and develop practical skills on how to pro-actively and effectively involve participants in group processes:
“I really enjoyed the Liberating Structures Online Immersion Workshop for M&E Specialists! Through directly applying some liberating structures, we collectively generated new ideas on how to make M&E truly participatory. The training was a lot of fun and very rich, while allowing deep reflections and hands-on learning."
