What is Three Horizons?
Three Horizons framework is a simple yet powerful tool used to facilitate conversations about the future. The framework brings together diverse perspectives and creates a shared language for discussing present challenges and emerging opportunities. It's particularly useful in guiding groups towards meaningful action in complex environments, making it applicable across business, policy, and community contexts.
What is LEGO Serious Play?
LEGO Serious Play is a method used in meetings and workshops to engage people, get them thinking differently and having a different conversation. Based on the use of LEGO bricks as metaphors, it is used to tell complex stories that unpack thoughts, feelings, beliefs, imagination and action plans on a range of topics and across a wide range of settings from business to government. It is a democratic approach to facilitation, where people listen and build equally, creating surprising depth and connection through simple brick-play.
Do I need LEGO to participate?
You will need a couple of handfuls of mixed LEGO of different shapes and sizes to participate. If you don't have any LEGO, see if you can borrow a little and if not then a couple of handfuls of random objects that fit on your desk will be okay.
Pricing and proceeds:
The ticket price is £25. All proceeds will be donated to a charity selected by attendees during the workshop.
