TFAC042 - Facilitating Online with Liberating Structures
Course Description
Liberating Structures are facilitated activities that you can use with any kind of group. They are “serious fun” processes that support engagement, collaboration, and innovation. While you can absolutely use Liberating Structures in person, this course focuses on how you'll facilitate Liberating Structures online.
You'll need to commit to two hours of synchronous learning each week during the four weeks.
