Duration: 90 minutes
About the workshop:
As a facilitator, you design your meetings to be interactive, agile, and engaging. Improv games can make your sessions more creative, memorable, and playful while still enabling you to accomplish your learning and discussion objectives.
This workshop will introduce you to several games you can use online or in-person to generate and deepen the conversation, stimulate planning and visioning, safely explore areas of concern and disagreement, and much more.
Session leaders will select volunteers to demonstrate the games, and create opportunities for participants to explore ways in which to use them.
Learning Objectives
In this session, participants will:
- Explore the concept of Applied Improv and how it can be used in group facilitation.
- Experience a sample of games to assess their potential and impact
- Expand their own facilitator’s toolkit
NOTE: This workshop will be recorded for distribution to all who register (breakout rooms will not be recorded).
This is a 90-minute workshop. It will take place starting at 12pm EDT.
