Liberating Structures meet up: planning the first half of 2026

If you’re interested in, or just curious about, co-facilitating a future Liberating Structures meet up, then come along to plan some of our 2026 events.

Everyone is welcome, and no previous facilitation or Liberating Structures experience is required. All that’s needed is a willingness to try something new together.

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.

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.

For more info on all the different structures and tools, including FAQs and guides on using them, visit the Liberating Structures website.

Q’s Liberating Structures group meets online each month to explore, practice and trial one or more of the Structures. It’s a supportive space, and everyone is welcome. The group meet ups are co-facilitated by members of the community. 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.

People taking part in the group have told us:

“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”.

For updates on future meet ups, join Q’s Liberating Structures in Health Care online group. Maybe you’re planning a session at your own workplace or with any groups you’re part of? The group is open to everyone and is a great place to ask the community for advice and support on any of the Liberating Structures.

There is also a Q‑connected Liberating Structures group in Scotland, started by two Q members. Follow them on X for updates and events.

Liberating Structures meet up: Thursday 6 February, 12.00 – 13.00
