Abstract

Understanding your environment, is essential to connectivity and inclusivity. It involves making time to reflect on your activities, identifying the barriers to
creating connections with the people and environment around you so that you can become an agent of change. This objective was explored using a kinaesthetic form of learning through LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. This workshop engaged participants’ creative minds and hands to communicate and share stories, listening, creating meaning, and connections. It created a space to dedicate time to empathise, immerse, learn,understand, and be inclusive. Through formal and informal feedback received, it became evident that in these contemporary times,
Connectivity and Inclusivity are fundamental values needed in our communities if we are to work and live sustainably on this Earth.
