What are Liberating Structures?

Liberating Structures are a set of simple, playful yet powerful methods (33 ‘microstructures’) for group participation. They put people at the center of the thinking and help groups progress on a wide array of challenges. Most microstructures easily scale from small to huge (300+) groups.

Liberating Structures open a new way and pattern to design a learning process. By combining the structures, we progressively tap into the collective wisdom, experience and perspectives of groups, teams or organizations and generate novel thinking.

Liberating Structures are based on 10 leadership principles offering choices as to how we meet, work, learn together and how we relate to each other. They guide our decisions as facilitators, managers, team leaders and trainers.

About this 'Social' Immersion Workshop

On December 12 & 13 you will experience first-hand a series of easy-to-learn microstructures and their innovative and liberating power. You will learn how to use them to help others work at the top of their intelligence and creativity. You will rethink the design of an upcoming workshop or initiative you are involved in. We will look behind the structures and explore how they build on the logic of Complexity Science. And last, but not least: you will meet the pioneers Anna Jackson and Fisher S Qua and connect to the global and local community of Liberating Structures practitioners.

Design Team

The Design Team consists of LS pioneers Fisher Qua and Anna Jackson, and local Design Team members Nadia von Holzen, Cristina Temmink and Ewen Le Borgne.
