Finally! Among the training workshops this year, this one is the one I'm most excited about! 2 full days well spent! Make no mistake, the Lego Serious Play method is not about seeing who can create the most realistic and complex models. Instead, it focuses on using Lego to concretize abstract concepts, simplify complex problems, and convey these ideas in an understandable manner to others. Beautiful, inclusive lesson design for Introverts: Lego Serious Play helps express difficult-to-articulate thoughts within a group through symbolic representations, thereby fostering sincerity and strengthening bonds among members. Every one has a voice in the final work. This method is especially beneficial for leadership training, team building activities for corporations, organizing events, and summer camps. It also shows great potential when integrated into teaching Public Presentation skills and English language classes. Notably, in August, Lego will launch its first batch of products from the Binh Duong factory. They plan to promote this initiative vigorously with ads, celebrities and KOLs, providing an excellent opportunity to ride this trend.

Short answers to big LEGO® questions #6… “Do I have to be certified to host a LEGO® Serious Play® session?" NOPE! You don't need to be certified to host a LEGO® Serious Play® session... but, you do need to follow the methodology and know how to facilitate a learning session. The best way to learn is to get some hands-on practice to boost your skills and confidence to make your sessions even more effective and engaging.
