About this session
If you’re interested in or curious about co-facilitating a future Liberating Structures session, then come along to plan the second half of 2024.
Everyone is welcome, and no previous facilitation or Liberating Structures experience is required. All that’s needed is a willingness to try something new with and among peers.
It’s a great opportunity to learn and test new group facilitation tools to take back to your own organisation, team, or community of practice.
About Liberating Structures
Liberating Structures can be used to change the way we work and collaborate. They promote inclusive, innovative, and productive meetings and projects and are now used widely in improvement work.
There are 33 structures to explore. Using them can quickly encourage lively participation in groups of any size, boost engagement, and enable connection and collaboration with others in a fun and inspiring way.
Liberating Structures user group
The Q Liberating Structures user group meets online each month to explore one or more of the Structures. It’s a supportive space, and everyone is welcome.
The group sessions are co-facilitated by Q members. While there are varying levels of experience with Liberating Structures and facilitation in the group, no one is an expert. We rely on peer support. Everyone is safe to try something new and learn together through participation.
“I always find these meet-ups helpful and it has got me from wanting to use Liberating Structures to actually using them. I am meeting great people and learning practical skills.”
“I find this group a great energy boost, learning experience and networking opportunity.”
“I didn’t realise how much fun I’d have – but I also learnt something”.
Upcoming sessions
Our sessions run on the first Thursday of each month, and are usually centred around a theme and/or specific Liberating Structure.
