About this event

  • 15 days 3 hours

Come learn Liberating Structures and unleash radically different results and relationships in your collaborations

Learn Liberating Structures and inject explosive energy into your meetings (and collaborations)

“Most of the meetings I attend are meaningless or follow the same old boring routine.”
“I’m tired of hearing the same voices all the time.”
“If only there was genuine listening and dialogue in our collaborations, there would be more space for discovery and sustainable solutions.”

Do these comments feel familiar? That’s because it’s a reality too many people live in: Conversations, meetings and collaborations that don’t pay attention to you, your needs and aspirations.

This is the promise of Liberating Structures (LS):

To walk an earth where everyone is invited to contribute their ideas and co-create a better team, workplace, project, landscape, and planet. LS are super simple but deep and groundbreaking ways of thinking, communicating and collaborating.

Join our four-(half)day immersion workshop, and change your conversations and results, with minimum effort and maximum results.

It’s time to liberate yourself and the people around you. Now!

What are Liberating Structures?

Liberating Structures are 33+ simple, playful and powerful conversation formats for group participation and collaboration. They put everyone at the centre of thinking, designing and problem-solving, tapping into multiple creative intelligences to crack issues that really matter.

  • Liberating Structures focus on dialogue, learning and collaboration.
  • Most structures are incredibly simple and easy to learn, and completely practical to apply instantly with any group size.
  • They generate different results without expensive investments, complicated training, or shifts in formal structure.
  • They are naturally apt to explore complex, messy, non-linear, uncertain challenges - ie. our reality

Liberating Structures put YOU (and everyone) in the driving seat. No longer a guru holding everyone’s space. They invite all our senses, hearts, minds and souls into everyday interactions.

"The best multiplier to spread Liberating Structures is the team. If the whole team learns Liberating Structures, the new way of collaborating and meeting will become organic and natural." Nur Rokhmah Hidayati, ResultsinHealth

How it works:

  • A hands-on, extremely interactive experience of learning by doing Liberating Structures
  • Serious fun, connecting with the Liberating Structures community and spirit
  • Inspiring, curious, motivated people coming from different walks of life (your fellow ‘acticipants’)
  • An experienced and keen design and facilitation team who worked with the Liberating Structures inventors and pioneers
  • Step-by-step documentation complete with links to further reading, resources and practical guidelines to run it by yourself
  • Availability for follow-up questions, advice and coaching

Who is this for?

Liberating Structures are suitable for anyone participating in, facilitating or hosting meetings; anyone having collaborations within and across teams; and anyone hungry for more inspiring conversations and results. Any change-maker that really means to challenge the status quo.

LS are particularly suited for: Consultants, facilitators, leaders, agile/scrum masters, team leaders, activists, coaches, trainers, project managers…

When is it and how do I sign up?

This is a 4-half day ONLINE Immersion Workshop carried out in two blocks of two half days:

  • A 'Magic Sauce’ session on June 12, 14-15:00 CEST to explore some of the theory behind Liberating Structures and get a brief overview of all 33 structures.

Who will be helping us immerse ourselves?

Nadia von Holzen is a collaboration guide and facilitation sparring partner. As the founder of Learning Moments, she wants to inspire and challenge people to creatively make space for more healthy, human and happy working and living. In her mission to provide learning experiences for individuals and organizations to reflect, rethink, and change their behaviours, practices, and principles, Liberating Structures play a key role. Because this magic repertoire creates different energy and surprising insights and provides a shared language for teams to work together.

Ewen Le Borgne is a process ‘agent provocateur’. His work exists in order to help and challenge everyone to unlock their collaborative, facilitative, relational magic towards better human systems and/or planet. Liberating Structures are part of his repertoire because they’re so brilliant that it’s simply a crime to keep them secret; LS help anyone go deep very fast, without needing 15 years of facilitation experience and Ewen wants to see people reconnect with their own fire and with each other as far and as fast as possible.


Organized by

Two Liberating Structures enthusiasts

Ewen Le Borgne and Nadia von Holzen are organising Liberating Structures Immersion Workshops and Liberating Journeys (for advanced LS practitioners).

Liberating Structures are, however, only a means to an end.

What Nadia and Ewen wish to bring about is perhaps fewer but significantly better meetings and interactions between people. More effective collaborations, sharper and more respectful communication, stronger and softer relationships, more ease with uncertainty and change for everyone involved, more productive, healthy and enjoyable gatherings and conversations.

With their combined experience of 50 years of facilitation, collaboration and knowledge management, they are living to help everyone achieve this deep connection with each other, at a moment when our societies and environment need it more than anything.

Offer

Nadia and Ewen offer a variety of services:

  • Facilitation capacity strengthening (inhouse and open call training)
  • Co-facilitation and/or co-design of meetings and workshops
  • Supporting (from the back) planning and process-design of gatherings
  • Training / coaching on specific topics: Feedback, renewing meeting habits and practices, dealing with resistance to change etc.
