Introducing Brick by Brick

Brick by Brick is the University of Leeds training facility offering an accredited 2-day training course for people who want to become certified facilitators of the LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) methodology.

Become a certified facilitator of the LEGO® Serious Play® methodology

Developed by Inthrface in partnership with Prof. Johan Roos, co-creator of the LEGO® Serious Play® method, this certification stays true to the original theories and principles that can be adapted for different contexts, scenarios and time frames.

On completion, you will receive an internationally recognised certificate from Inthrface plus access to the Inthrface BRICKMIND peer support community for ongoing ideas and inspiration.
