Workshop: An Experiment in Social Psychology

Using Icebreakers in workshops to help people get to know new people without awkwardness.

By Andy Whittle

Brussels: 23 September 2015

Based on an article by Susan Krauss Whitbourne.

Nearly everybody, at one time or another, has participated in a workshop, and has without a doubt, experienced an Ice-breaker of some sorts.

Usually it is an exercise in getting to know people's names and as a gentle warm up prior to starting the workshop.

Sometimes though, they serve a higher purpose. In this workshop, Andy would like to take you on an experimental journey through 10 Ice-breakers that have a Social Psychology value in that they can tell you a lot about the other people and at the same time a little about yourself.

Just what will these icebreakers reveal about you and your team?

Come along and join in the fun as we take a magical tour through your mind and find out what makes you tick. We'll also gain insights into how and why your peer/work group functions the way it does. (And enjoy the Ice breakers for what they are at the same time).
