| Overview: |
The objective of this training is to empower educators and leaders to design and deliver LEGO® Serious Play® sessions that build better learning experiences for the students, staff and community members in their settings
LEGO Serious Play is a method that leverages principles of purposeful play to make thinking and learning visible. It is actively engaging, meaningful, socially interactive, iterative and - of course - joyful. Using the world-famous bricks and modular building system, LEGO Serious Play is a versatile methodology that enhances communication and collaboration, helping learners to think critically and make connections between key concepts and ideas.
Through hands-on practice-based learning, over three days participants will learn how the LEGO bricks can be used to 3D printer their thoughts in real-time, how groups can build together to create shared models that reflect collective understanding, and how the method serves as a powerful mechanism for making systems thinking visible - enabling learners to build and animate the systems they study and exist within, to observe emergent behaviours and better understand complex adaptive systems.
