Lego Serious Play workshop - 18 March 2026
Lego Serious Play Remix Workshop
Date: Wednesday 18 March 2026
Time: 13:30 – 15:30
Venue: Bagley Baptist Church, Bagley near Wedmore, BS28 4TG
The LSPRemix Accelerator is a practical introduction to the essentials of LEGO Serious Play, adapted for the realities of children’s work, youth work, and education chaplaincy. You’ll use a simple cycle of building, sharing, and reflection to explore the kinds of situations you face every day, from mentoring and pastoral conversations to group work and planning. LSPRemix works from an open-source ethos, making the method clear, usable, and adaptable so you can take it straight into your own setting. Expect a hands-on session that surfaces quieter voices, brings clarity to complex issues, and leaves you confident to apply the approach with the children and young people you serve.
We look forward to welcoming Ben Mizen to lead this session. Ben is Creative Consultant and Founder of Ideas Alchemy and a former diocesan youth ministry adviser in the Church of England.
Hosted by the Go Team.
£5 per person including materials to take away. Free parking.
