What are liberating structures?
Liberating Structures are an alternative way of shaping cooperation. More specifically, they are a variety of methods that aim to promote people's relationships, coordination and trust among themselves. They create the right framework for mastering challenges in a structured way together.
I use Liberating Structures in my workshops as they allow me to involve all participants. Whether quiet as a mouse or a hogger of the limelight, everyone is an indispensable link in the chain and contributes to problem-solving.
