Coaching with Lego® Serious Play® for PGTAs 1 June 2026 [in person]

Monday 1 June 2026, 10am - 12pm [in person]

This workshop, offered by UCL Arena, is designed for Postgraduate Teaching Assistants (PGTAs) who want to explore challenges associated with their role in a structured and reflective way. Delivered in a small group setting, the workshop uses a coached LEGO® Serious Play® approach in which participants build models to explore their experiences, consider different perspectives and think about challenges in new ways. Through individual reflection, pair and group discussion, participants will translate insights from their models into a clear, personally meaningful goal to take forward in their practice.

In this workshop you will:

• Explore challenges and opportunities in your PGTA role using LEGO® Serious Play®
• Engage in a guided, reflective process that supports focused thinking and discussion
• Identify a clear goal and next step to take forward in your practice

By the end of this session, participants will be able to

• experience LEGO® Serious Play® techniques to explore and communicate ideas
• recognise how models and metaphors can tell multiple stories and reveal different perspectives
• reflect on challenges as a PGTA and consider possible ways to address them
• translate insights from their model into an actionable goal
