Hi Yla..
Done this before.
A way to save time is to very quickly build a tower or bridge to get familiarity with Lego. As they are college students I would even skip this part and actually make the career model as the warm up exercise.
If you do do the bridge/tower then ask them to modify it to reflect their ideal career.
The second thing I do…[Read more]

Assolutamente si, grazie Fabrizio!

Hi Juan,

I worked in the past with architects – both students and practitioners.
With one of them, we wrote an e-book on using LSP in co-housing – it’s free here http://b4bricks.org/media/handbook-for-co-housing/ sadly it’s in Italian, but maybe with Google translate you can read it easily.
If you have problems, please, let me know!

Grazie a te per aver fatto la fatica di tradurlo e metterlo a disposizione.
Risorse come quella che hai messo a disposizione, sono essenziali ed apprezzate :)

Lego le sta provando tutte per rendere Lego ‘femminili’ – dagli orrendi Lego Friends Rosa stucchevole, a varie campagne.

In tutta sincerità’, a costo di essere impopolare, sono contraria a campagne di genere in genere. Lego ad un certo punto ha smesso di fare solo mattoncini (ai miei tempi, pie’ che mattonino e minifig non avevo) e si e’ messa a…[Read more]

Marcos,

others said it well and I totally agree with them: make it relevant and useful.

My only additional suggestion is to clarify that a public demo with many participants is not a workshop and that they will experience something very different.

The challenge for the facilitator, aka you, is to take then into the flow quickly.

In my…[Read more]

Hi Marcus..
Sorry about the bad experience dilemma you have. Been there and more than once!
Totally agree with Christopher.. whether demo or not the issue being discussed must be Real, Relevant and of Significant Interest to the participants. It does not necessarily have to be work related.. I have had success by posing questions related to…[Read more]

Interessante, grazie!
Il facilitatore facilita, e facilitare non è facile.
Bisogna fare i conti con gli obiettivi del gruppo, quelli strategici, il tempo, i partecipanti…
Creare rapport con i partecipanti per portarli al risultato senza che spingere, senza forzare, ma restare sullo sfondo – una specie di vento che indica la direzione, dà la rot…[Read more]

Ottimo lavoro!
Thanks Marko e ben fatto Lorenzo!
