The highly acclaimed 3-day Masterclass, The Art and Craft of Designing and Facilitating Learning Spaces, is an opportunity to start an "education and learning reboot". It invites participants to explore, experience and be trained in the KAOSPILOT approach to designing and facilitating learning that inspires and promotes creativity, engagement, innovation and risk-taking in learning spaces.

Kaospilot is an alternative business, design and leadership school in Denmark. BusinessWeek has recognized The Kaospilots as "one of the best design schools in the world", and Fast Company has named it in its Startup League's Big 10, "preparing you for the fast moving startup economy".

More than 2500 educators, program directors, learning designers and consultants, trainers, facilitators and edu-preneurs have participated in this Masterclass across 40 countries, and in 2018 it arrived in Australia.

During the Masterclass, participants will be introduced to the unique ‘opportunity based pedagogy’ and competency model of the Kaospilots, which has been developed over 25 years from working with young dynamic learners and leaders and by exploring the potential in transformational education.

Participants will have the opportunity not only to talk about their ideas for pedagogical and methodological change but also practice and develop them! Through imaginative interpretation, “hacking” and creative application of your curriculum, new pedagogical and methodological processes will be explored which will challenge and "reboot" approaches to learning and content delivery. You can read the full description and agenda overview below.

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.

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.
