About this Event

Theme: Igniting Creative Confidence for Innovation

Celebrate World Creativity & Innovation Day with a co‑working day and an energising, hands‑on Lunch & Learn designed to help you unlock new ideas, gain fresh perspectives and build creative confidence you can use immediately in your work or business.

This session is built around the power of Lego® Serious Play® (LSP), a fun, surprisingly deep, facilitator‑led method that helps you think differently, express ideas visually, and explore challenges in new ways. Whether you’re a founder, freelancer or part of an innovation‑driven team, you’ll leave with clearer insights, stronger communication and a renewed spark for problem‑solving.

  • A practical, structured creativity tool you can use long after the session
  • Fresh ways to frame challenges and generate meaningful ideas
  • A deeper understanding of creativity as a business accelerator
  • A fun, energising session that blends play with strategy
  • Stronger communication and shared understanding within your team
  • Real, actionable insights — not just theory

  • Co‑workers looking to try new creative approaches
  • Anyone curious about structured creativity tools



What You’ll Leave With
