WHO IS THIS FOR?

This process is for your organization if you want to:

• Nurture a great remote working culture that supports collaboration and employee happiness
• Enable more informal socializing while working remotely (we all miss those spontaneous encounters in the coffee room!)
• Make your online gatherings more participatory and less reliant on one-directional presenting
• Organize memorable strategy days, offsites or other events
• Make everyone in your community feel seen and appreciated

CONTENTS OF THE PROCESS

You will learn four Liberating Structures methods, which are simple to use without prior facilitation experience. The methods have been selected to specifically meet some of the most common challenges teams face while working remotely:

• Lack of opportunities for informal socializing
• Meetings where most participants are not engaged and fully present
• Internal (and external) events that so easily become tiring presentation marathons and don’t allow audiences to engage with each other or with the content

The training is based on the 4-step experiential learning model, with focus on active experimentation and reflection, individually and together, through a variety of exercises and visual materials. You will try each method out in practice with your team, which creates a rich learning experience - and a great time together.

HOSTS

The Magic Department is a Helsinki-based cooperative that designs and facilitates learning processes and community experiences for a meaningful and humane working life.

We design our experiences based on the 4-step experiential learning model, with focus on active experimentation and reflection, individually and together, through a variety of exercises and visual materials.

“The Magic Department hosted the ‘Liberating Structures - Meaningful Encounters with Easy Tools’ event and oh boy, was it an inspiring experience. Definitely the best webinar this spring.

The exercises were carefully thought out, there was room for discussion and insights, and the content of everything was extremely interesting.

I learned many convenient and easy ways to facilitate meaningful ideation and exchange of ideas, virtually or live.”
