From Ice-breakers to complex adaptive systems - Facilitating games and activities in learning
According to Seymour Epstein’s cognitive experiential self-theory (CEST), any learning is more effective when paired with experiential activities like participating in activities and games. In fact, there’s tons of learning theory purporting the benefits of experiential elements in any kind of learning – we learn more by doing, practicing, experiencing, and so on (and it’s fun too, right?).
In this session, we’ll take you on a whistle stop tour of the various games/activities/tools facilitators can leverage with this in mind. From Ice-breakers to complex adaptive systems… and you might even get to play with some LEGO© SERIOUS PLAY©

Fake it ‘til you make it- the art of projecting confidence
Join storytelling coach Riccardo Ginevri and discover how to use your voice and body language to convey the best thing a presenter can have – confidence.
He’ll cover what to do in person – whether in a meeting room, a coffee shop or on stage – as well as virtual presentation skills – how to set up your camera, lights and microphones, what to wear and what to have behind you. We’ll even dig into stage fright, why it happens and what you can do about it. This session is packed full of practical advice and useful tips.
