LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® for schools and families
In brief: IPPOPO uses the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method with schools and educational services to get educators and parents talking without judgement: each person tells their own point of view through a model built with bricks. The most common formats are school-family meetings, workshops for teams of educators and programmes run together with psychologists and educational specialists, in the province of Pavia, Milan and Lombardy.
A space to talk about what matters
Talking about education touches deep chords: it is easy to feel judged, both as a parent and as a professional. With LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® people speak through a model built with their hands, and this creates just the right distance to have an honest conversation.
IPPOPO designs meetings for schools, educational services and families in the province of Pavia, in Milan and across Lombardy, also together with psychologists and educational specialists.
What you get
- An open, non-judgemental dialogue between school and family.
- A shared understanding of children’s needs.

Formats
School-family meetings

Teams of educators
Aligning the working group on educational project, values and shared ways of working, at the start of the year or at a time of change.
With psychologists and educational specialists
The professionals bring the content; the method facilitates dialogue and everyone’s participation.
A real case in the province of Pavia: Siziano
With the educators and parents of the nursery school “Un, Due, Tre… Stella!” in Siziano, in collaboration with the Centro sempliceMENTE, we worked on a question that concerns many families: why do children behave so differently at school and at home? In two and a half hours, awareness, practical suggestions and a strong sense of community emerged. Read the full story.
