LSLab Berlin #10.4
Liberating Structures Lab Berlin #10.4
It's time for another LSLab Berlin!
At the end of July, we will be gathering for the 4th event of our 10th year in Liberating Structures Lab Berlin — a hands-on, interactive evening for anyone who wants learn to make meetings and teamwork (or working with any group), more engaging, effective, and fun!
This Lab
🗓 Theme: Making Peace with our Differences
👥 Format: Small groups, structured interaction, real collaboration using our collective intelligence and playfulness
🚆 Host: Revealed when you register ;-)
The String (of structures) we will use:
- Drawing Together
- Gallery Walk
- 3W's (What, So What, Now What?)
Using these structures we wanted to explore: how can we still make connections and build relationships, when things often feel so polarized? Someone really likes pineapple on their pizza, and someone else thinks it should be against the law. Where, when and how can we learn to listen to each other, respect what makes each of us unique, and maybe use that as a strength? This will be a light-hearted approach to a serious topic. Come prepared to explore, and be curious, leaving your judgment at the door.
Each Lab includes:
✔️ Networking & connecting
✔️ Giving and Getting Help
✔️ A thoughtfully designed Liberating Structures session
✔️ Personal action planning (so you always have a takeaway and personal learning)
We don’t do long debriefs during the session — on purpose.
The experience mirrors real work: practical, fast-paced, and participatory. It's a time for the Designers (those who put the lab together) to try our their workshop design and see how LS really works. The participants get to come and experience it in action.
Practice + Play = Better Collaboration.
