About Liberating Structures

Liberating Structures are refreshing, easy-to-learn microstructures that enhance relational coordination and trust between people. Usually interactions are organized (meetings, workshops, etc.) either too inhibiting (presentations, status reports, and managed discussions), or too loose and disorganized (open discussions and brainstorms).

Liberating Structures instantly foster lively participation in groups of any size, making it possible to truly include and unleash everyone. Liberating Structures are a disruptive innovation that can replace more controlling or constraining approaches.

Liberating Structures are easy-to-learn effective facilitation techniques for interaction and conversation in small and large groups. You can easily start experimenting with these, without the need of explaining them too much!

Training? Workshop?

The session concerns a 2-day immersion workshop. The goal of an immersion workshop is to learn and experience Liberating Structures with a real goal. The immersion workshop will be designed, facilitated and delivered by a local design team from Belgium. This session is fully interactive, you will practice Liberating Structures and you will co-create the learning experience.

Design Workshop

There is a possibility to participate in the (additional) 1-day design workshop. The design workshop takes places the day immediately following the 2-day workshop. Prerequisite is having participated in an immersion workshop before (the one just being organised or a workshop once before) and being able to facilitate some Liberating Structures (with support). The goal of this design workshop is to design your own combination of Liberating Structures for a specific purpose, and to provide a space for the participants to practise facilitation of Liberating Structures.
