Virtual Workshop: What Will You Bring to the Table?

By Julie Anne (Jules) Gilleland

On-Line: 24 June 2020

 This will be an experimental remote workshop with the main goal being to see how far can we take remote workshops towards being a connected, inspired, engaged, fun, hands-on experience. Jules says she is an absolute novice to online training. However she has a great passion for making all kinds of things (business-meeting like) fun, playful and inspiring. As a designer of creative spaces, she is excited to see how she might design better online learning experiences. She is intrigued by the idea of having an amazing group of experienced talented trainers sitting around the same table playing with this idea.

Takeaways

• Connecting with people remotely in a new way.
• Leave a 90min Zoom inspired and energised.
• Get new ideas on how to run innovative remote meetings.

Come explore with Jules and share your experience and, most importantly, your playful energy!

Your Pre-Playwork

Your pre-playwork is to create a collection of objects! Begin by finding an object (The Thing) that represents you! The Thing should be no larger than your hand and the size of a cork is ideal. Then, choose at least five more things that go with The Thing in one way or another. (Collection ideas: by colour, size, shape, material attributes, function, etc.) Put all of these items in a basket, box or container and have it with you for the Zoom meeting.

We will be working with Miro, an on-line collaboration tool. If you want to check out Miro beforehand it is here: https://miro.com/
