Slack
There is a slack channel for exchanging ideas for sessions, networking, finding other birds.
Integrated and Option Sessions
There is a public google-docs folder especially for integrated and option sessions: Feel free to add details of your option sessions to that folder
How to offer a session
If you want to offer a session feel free to submit it here
Just to give you an idea what we expect: sessions might include topics you want to work on with other participants or topics you want to know more about, not being an expert yourself. Our only kind of „condition“ is that you share some initial thoughts regarding the format you want to use. If you are going to use LS for that, you might have an idea for a string but it’s fine to use non-LS tools (even goat rodeo) if it is intentionally. This might sound strict but is our way to try to make sure that everybody spends some thoughts not only on the content but on the format as well. This should result in an increased quality of the sessions and is a direct learning from the Global LS Gathering in Seattle a couple of months ago.
If you still need inspiration for session(s) you want to offer here are some possible topics:
- New ways of applying Liberating Structures
- New riffs and variations of existing Liberating Structures
- New Liberating Structures and Liberating Structures in development
- Marrying Liberating Structures with other facilitation methods
- Failures using Liberating Structures
- Liberating Structures stringing
- Forming new initiatives
- Opportunities for societal change
