Liberating Structures

33+ simple techniques for facilitating meetings, workshops and conversations.

What are Liberating Structures?

Liberating Structures (LS) are a repertoire of 33+ simple techniques for facilitating meetings, workshops and conversations. Each structure offers an alternative to the conventional ways of planning and decision making. Liberating Structures make it possible for everyone to be involved and make progress on complex challenges.

Throughout 2018 we held three very popular workshops on Liberating Structures at the Health Foundation.
