hey Luca: it’s true – that specific line does not appear in The Republic, or in any of Plato’s other writings. Despite that, I have continued to use it in my workshop introductions, with the modifier of ”
attributed to Plato.”
A Google search reveals thousands of mis-attributions, including from prestigious academic journals.
That does not make…[Read more]

Hi
I found this site very helpful

They have a very nice pdf of the explore kit as well as other useful information
Good luck

Hi Manon,

thank you for your answer.
Actually, what I want is a official list of all the different bricks that are contained in the box, meaning a list with a photograph of the brick and how many pieces are included in the box…

This is information is very helpful when we have to re-arrange all pieces to the three kit (Starter, Identity,…[Read more]

I’ve done workshops with parallel tables using the Window Exploration Bag/The Serious Duck, and one of the things that I’ve found valuable for managing parallel tracks is to have bag labels – if you’re laying out 60 tables worth of Window Kits, and those kits come a printed page identifying the participant (Player 1, Player 2 etc), then you can…[Read more]

Hi Nikos,

You could check the inventory list of all sets at LEGO.COM (https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/replacementparts/sale?ignorereferer=true) At Buy Parts you can enter the setnumbers (2000414 and 2000430) and you get a view of all elements in the set, ready to order! I assume these are the lists of the most actual boxes. Hope this is…[Read more]

Hi Manon – See a case study of a very similar workshop (320 people – 1 hour) is here: http://www.meeting-facilitation.co.uk/conferences-and-events/index#imex-association-day

I ran this alone and it worked great. If you need any tips drop me a message – kindly Sean

Hi Manon,

a few suggestions:

– work in really small groups, so you can move on – instead of waiting for several tables to finish their discussions

– do not just set up a timeline, but use a visible timer as well – so people know when they should finish and you don’t have to scream to silence them

– make the challenges really comprehensive and…[Read more]

Thanks Rodrigo! Very helpfull, I will definitively use a timeline in my powerpoint!

Hi Manon,

This is a great challenge, indeed!

I have been doing big groups workshops. My suggestions would be to focus just in two concepts:
1) Warm-up for about 40 minutes.
2) The topic you would like this group to discuss.
And instead of having strong facilitators collaboration (would be the best, but as you mention is a little expensive for…[Read more]

I dont know any other source for buying kits.

Hi Rodrigo,

thanks for the input! much appreciated.

In case I get the work, where can I buy all that material for being available in 3 weeks?

Luis

Hi Luis,

I have been workshops with close to this numbers.
In my humble opinion, there is no chance to get deep in it, but for sure good instances of learning and group sharing.

I would start with a good amount of time for a warm-up, close to one hour. Then, getting two different concepts in an hour per concept exercise; probably based in what…[Read more]

Ziplock bags and resealable bags have been my best asset for porting and sorting the Lego kits. I’ve converted my starter kit boxes to resealable bags, and this has meant that I can add Kit labels, team labels, session names and details. Same for my collection of LSP ducks, and the LSP window exploration kits – small ziplocks and a handful of…[Read more]

Hello I am preparing a training for the same profile of people. I woud like to know the why you did this kind of workshops. What kind of questions you placed? What was your goal? If there any website to be seen the practice?
I thank you in advanced for your support and comments. Direct contact dwlegoes@gmail.com

Hi Elisabeth,

Actually we had the same issue but internally. As I introduced the methodology to our company Haufe we started out with a standard set. With more and more facilitators joining our internal LSP community we did the following set up of bricks as they need them for the workshops:

10 Starter Kits mixed together to form the basis for a…[Read more]
