Upcoming events and workshops
Liberating Structures workshop
April 29-30, 2024 | Kelowna campus
Please consult with your manager or chair about attending the Liberating Structures workshop coming April 29-30, 2024. Liberating Structures are “serious fun” facilitation strategies that support inclusion, engagement, collaboration, and innovation. Whether you occasionally run small meetings, lead large teams through complex cycles of organizational change, or want to supercharge a classroom, you will find useful tools to boost your facilitation practice and effectiveness.
Over 2 days, participants will experience many Liberating Structures firsthand, considering how to adopt them into your regular practice, as well as how we can use them to support the Okanagan College Learning Framework. This workshop is suitable for beginners and beyond - no experience required but come prepared for an experience of lively learning together! Wear comfy clothes and shoes!
