What is LSP?

Using it

Experiential Learning

Experiential Learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience. The theories of experiential learning are based on the work of John Dewey and Jean Piaget and expanded by David Kolb. His work on experiential learning has made broad contributions to expanding the philosophy of experiential education.

The Experiential Learning Cycle diagram shows how adults discuss (publish and process) their experiences to reinforce learning, before applying the newly gained knowledge and evaluating new experiences.

LEGO^®SERIOUS PLAY^® - Open Source

In May 2010, the LEGO company formally announced the end of the business model it had introduced with the initial commercialisation of LSP, based on a network of licensed partners and its intention to move to an "Open Source" model. In this context, LEGO no longer offers any support to individuals or organisations using the methodology. This move has allowed practitioners to offer a wider range of services, including customised LSP-enabled activities, facilitator training, etc. The SeriousPlayPro.com community represents all those who have any interest in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology.

If you are interested in reading more about the methodology, please contact joyce@caprese.org. In the meantime, you may like to read LEGO's generic description of LSP (approx 35MB) for the open source community.
