Webinar: Using Liberating Structures to navigate the “in between” time

Learning Lab Description:

Many of us are reflecting on how to reform, re-norm, and create new pathways as the COVID-19 pandemic loosens its hold on our day-to-day lives. Liberating Structures (LS) can be referred to as a menu, repertoire, or curated collection of facilitation methods that are designed to be versatile and adaptable in many different situations and local contexts. All of the methods share a set of core principles, purposes, and organizing elements meant to more widely distribute participation - engaging a fuller range of people's intelligence while tapping into the creative promise of difference. Join us for this interactive Learning Lab, using virtual breakout rooms, and discover how LS can help team members, collaborators, and coalition members rebuild trust and a shared commitment to prevent substance misuse during a time of shifting norms. Learning Lab presenters will facilitate a deep-dive into LS during the 2021 Northwest PTTC Prevention Leadership Virtual Academy scheduled this fall.

Objectives:

By the end of the Learning Lab participants will be able to:

Name Liberating Structure Principles
Share background on how LS emerged
Identify one use for LS in strengthening teams, collaborations, and coalitions
Discuss how LS can be useful in both in-person and online settings
