Why not try something a little different with your students this year.

Lego® Serious Play® (LSP) is a facilitated methodology created by the Lego® Group.

In a Lego®Serious Play® session students engage in experiential learning and build with LEGO® bricks and elements in a very different way to normal Lego® building.

The process is surprisingly powerful and is an effective way to engage the brain and work through different scenarios and challenges to achieve outcomes.

The process supports thinking with the hands. Everyone builds, everyone listens and everyone tells their stories ensuring 100% engagement and 100% respect. Its helps to make sense of complex information and is grounded in scientific research.

This session will cover:

What is Lego®Serious Play®
Lego®Serious Play®check-ins
Lego®Serious Play® process and etiquette
Using Lego® bricks, elements and activities to support thinking, listening, sharing, voice, reflection and evaluation
Sourcing Lego®Serious Play® resources
