COURSE OUTLINE

The programme follows the roadmap developed by the Association of Master Trainers in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method. Trivium is a co-founding member of the association, and Trivium trainer Jens Rottbøll (see bio below) is one initial people ever certified in the LSP Methodology in 2001 The training qualifies participants for the advanced training programmes offered by Trivium and other members of the Association of Master Trainers in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method. The full programme runs for four days, starting at 08.30 and ending at 17.30 each day except Day 3, which concludes with a shared dinner followed by group work in the evening.

Training programs in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method are hands-on and minds-on, and are delivered in a fun and intense “leaning-in” atmosphere. Our approach is for the participants to experience first, and then reflect on that experience.

The current program is an updated and improved version of the facilitator training we have delivered since LEGO launched LEGO SERIOUS PLAY in 2001.
