KaosPilot Melbourne Masterclass: Designing and Facilitating Learning Spaces

This 3-day Masterclass is an opportunity to start an “education and learning reboot”. Using the KAOSPILOT approach to designing and facilitating learning, it invites participants to innovate, use their creativity, connect, and push themselves outside their comfort zone.

You will have the opportunity to share your ideas for pedagogical and methodological change as well as practice and develop them! 

Bring your real projects and program challenges, your openness to unlearn and learn, your questions and imagination, your experience and your beginner's mindset, your curiosity to connect and learn with others also seeking to transform education.

Agenda

Below is a video showing a recent Masterclass experience (from a recent workshop in Sydney with Simon Kavanagh from the Kaospilot Education Design Agency).

Learning Outcomes

• Learn how to use design thinking practices, effective brainstorming techniques and rapid prototyping to create, explore ideas and innovate

Testimonials

The Masterclass was amazing. Loved Ramon’s facilitation and the Kaospilot way. Drop PowerPoint, embrace flow and fluidity. Let learners own their experience.

-Nicole Lee, Consultant and Coach, Transformational Change

The experience was wholly engaging, exhilarating and exhausting - and I didn't want it to end. It was a massive injection of creativity and positivity meshed into a brilliant opportunity to meet and work with a fun bunch of like minded individuals. Moving back from overseas, it was also nice to meet local people interested in the same innovative learning space as I'd met in Europe. However, the biggest continued takeaway is the daily doses of 'ah ha' moments that I'm immediately putting into practice. Like simple changes to the way I facilitate and use a space, to sharing my learnings with the team I work in to change their practice.

-Leona Norris, Educational Designer
