Certified Facilitator in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology
Foundational Certification in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methodology – Designed for Inclusion
Inthrface offers a UNIQUE 3-day facilitator training in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) method – Designed for Inclusion.
The Foundational Certification in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methodology – Designed for Inclusion is designed to make facilitator training more accessible and inclusive.
It follows the same structure and learning outcomes as the standard Foundational Certification. The difference is how the learning environment is designed. Many traditional training environments assume that everyone learns and participates in the same way. In reality, people have different needs when it comes to focus, communication, sensory input, and energy levels.

The Foundational Certification – Designed for Inclusion explores a simple idea:
What happens if we adapt the training to participants – instead of asking participants to adapt to the training?
To support this, the programme includes:
-
Smaller group sizes
-
Accessible course materials
-
Flexible communication options
-
The opportunity to request reasonable adjustments
The goal is simple:
To create a learning environment where more people can participate comfortably and get the most out of the certification.
Accessibility and adjustments
Before the training starts, you will be invited to a short talk with the facilitator – Certified Training Partner Tom Lewellyn.
This is simply a chance to talk about:
- What the training looks like
- What to expect from the venue
- Anything that might help you participate more comfortably.
You can choose the format that works best for you:
- Video call
- Phone call
- Live chat
If you prefer not to schedule a meeting, that is completely fine as well
As a trained facilitator in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology you can:
- Design workshops that are adapted to your own organisational context.
- Deliver impactful workshops that are as short as 1 hr!
- Facilitate teams of any size.
- Use a versatile, flexible workshop format that you can adapt to any organisational context.

Day 1
Theory & History:
Understanding the history and theory gives you a solid foundation when adapting the generic tools to your specific organisational context.
- What is LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP)?

Skills-building:
These are shorter exercises that can be used either as warm-up exercises or as exercises in very short workshops:
- The skills-building toolbox – making the core elements come alive.
- Focused exercises on the basic elements in the methodology.
- Construction of knowledge with LEGO® bricks.
- Knowledge of how metaphors can help you communicate complex ideas and knowledge.
- Storytelling and its ability to help you discover, explore and make decisions.
- Imagination is a powerful source of new ideas.

- How to develop and run smaller workshops.
Day 2
Core application:
We will introduce and train the 6 steps in creating a core application of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method that can be used for infinite purposes. At the end of the session, we will discuss how to develop, plan and run a tailormade application.
Model separately and together
We set up a task to uncover the substance of the subject, e.g. the strategy, the team, the ability to innovate, etc. from different orientations – each participant builds their models, tells about them and then the group brings them together in shared models based on the instructions. Learn how to facilitate the individual building of models and how to guide teams to bring these together into shared models.
Ecosystem and factors
The ecosystem – e.g. the team, the company, the project, the strategy, or the ability to innovate – is created out of the shared models. To see what affects the systems and how, participants build the full landscape, e.g. stakeholders, team dynamics, trends, or other actors.
Correlations in the ecosystem
Dependencies and correlations in the ecosystem are illustrated through connections on the table. This is a way to embrace complexity, both internally and externally, as well as a space where conflicting perspectives can exist simultaneously, as they do in every day organisational life.
Learnings & Actions
We identify conclusions, principles, and actions based on the knowledge we have about the ecosystem right now.
