Last week we got together with 8 Dutch Certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitators to discuss forming a community of Dutch facilitators through opening a meetup group. It was great fun to meet one another, meeting good friends and making new ones. We had prepared a session to discuss how to work together, but consensus was already there before entering the room: Yes, we would open up a Dutch community of LSP facilitators!
We ate our own dog food to come to a mission statement for this new to be formed group. One of our own, Edwin de Vos facilitated the session and together we built and discussed: what are we here for? It must have been challenging for Edwin, facilitating and joining the session at the same time, but we had good fun and had a great discussion.

The mission of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY Holland:
Working on the growth and success of LSP and our facilitators in a fun, open and transparant way.

We are targeting these groups:

Together we have come to the following values and attitudes:
