About This Event
Liberating Structures is a best-of collection of group facilitation techniques that spark creativity, connection, and full-group engagement. In this active session, you’ll experience several key tools that help groups collaborate more effectively, surface new ideas, and build shared understanding. Whether you're designing a learning session, leading change, or just want to engage people more meaningfully, this workshop gives you easy, immediately usable strategies for any group. The Liberating Structures methodology is great to layer on for those with lots of experience working with groups, but also acts as a gateway to those who are new to facilitation and group engagement.
