Liberating Structures
David Heath at Agile on the Beach 2019
What would be made possible if you could unleash the intelligence and creativity of everyone? Liberating Structures are a collection of easy-to-learn facilitation patterns that make this possible. They’re field tested, rooted in complexity science and freely shared under a creative commons licence.
David Heath explains how to gain practical hands-on experience of Liberating Structures, and an appreciation of some of the possibilities they offer. He consolidates learning by alternating between practice of a structure and reflection on the experience and possible applications in ones' own context.
