The discussion and concepts covered may make you feel overwhelmed\, depressive and/or anxious. Please only sign up if you are in a good space\, comfortable with ambiguity\, and can bring in a mood of curiosity. \n\n\n\n\nAbout this session\n\n\n\nWhy do businesses race to develop AI even when many warn us of serious consequences? What makes kids (or parents!) push themselves to the limit with so many hours into studies\, tuition and enrichment classes even when they are obviously exhausted? Why do nations face stalemate in climate change conversations even after so many discussions? \n\n\n\nThere seems to be so much human activity and effort to resolve many of the challenges we face on a global\, regional\, national\, societal and even individual level. Yet\, there also seems to be so little movement and improvement. Something just isn’t working despite our best efforts and you want to understand why.In this session\, we will be exploring the common\, underlying system dynamics and incentives that drive many of the wicked problems we are experiencing and contributing to\, without even us knowing. The concepts we will cover are an introduction into the work of Nate Hagens\, Daniel Schmachtenberger and Ian McGilchrist. \n\n\n\nTogether we will: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the differences between the permacrisis\, polycrisis and metacrisis.\n\n\n\nUnderstand key drivers of behaviour common across all types of crises.\n\n\n\nExplore how these drivers repeat themselves in areas that affect our lives in big and small\, direct and indirect ways\, such as social media\, school\, weapons of mass destruction\, AI\, businesses and politics.\n\n\n\nConsider: What is the wisest thing we can do now?\n\n\n\n\nLunch is included\, and we’re thrilled to share that it will feature a vibrant\, plant-powered twist on a beloved classic—vegan nasi lemak. A perfect way to nourish both body and soul\, as we continue the conversation through the session. \n\n\n\nThis session is for those who…\n\n\n\nSeek to understand the deep\, complex roots of a world in turmoil\, yet still believe in the beauty and sacredness of striving for change. It’s for those who feel that something is “off” in the world\, and yet choose to act with conviction\, from a place of heart rather than fear. For the questioners\, the seekers\, the ones who resist despair and dare to awaken\, knowing that even in the mess\, there is hope—and that every small act of resistance matters. \n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\n\n\nIs this a lecture?The session will be a combination of sharing\, hands-on experiential activities and small group discussions.\n\n\n\nI can’t make it for this session. Will there be another run?Please follow us on our social media channels (LinkedIn\, Instagram) to get updated should we run future sessions.\n\n\n\nI attended a Metacrisis session before. Can I come for another one?Yes! We’ve had many people coming again\, joining in on different topic breakouts to expand their learning. Meeting new faces and familiar like-hearted people\, with similar heartaches and hopes\, can also be restorative.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time25 July 2026\, Saturday9.30AM to 3PM \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationCommon Ground21 Bedok North Street 1Singapore 469659+ Google Map \n\n\n\nFormatHalf-day\, In-person Workshop \n\n\n\nTicket TypeStandard: S$50 URL:https://www.studiodojo.com/events/understanding-metacrisis-jul2026/ CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.studiodojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FrC2C-Metacrisis.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20260709T093000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20260709T180000 DTSTAMP:20260726T211531 CREATED:20260115T090652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260703T073534Z UID:19530-1783589400-1783620000@www.studiodojo.com SUMMARY:(In)visible Facilitation: Design & Innovation - Jul 2026 Registration DESCRIPTION:9 JULY 2026\, 9.30AM-6PM\n\n\n\nTopics covered: Identify often-overlooked principles of facilitating divergent and convergent processes; different tools for different stages of a design or innovation process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis one-day hands-on workshop can provide you the fundamentals and principles of being a good facilitator supporting innovation or design thinking processes. You will observe how a facilitator’s own micro-actions may have (in)visible impact when bringing others through a problem-solving process; identify often-overlooked principles of facilitating divergent and convergent processes; and gain different tools for different stages of a design or innovation process. \n\n\n\nRead more about this training programme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate/Time9 July 2026 (Thu)9.30AM-6PM \n\n\n\n\n\nFormatFull-day\, In-person Workshop \n\n\n\nLocationCommon Ground21 Bedok North Street 1Singapore 469659+ Google Map \n\n\n\nPlease contact Zilin at billing@studiodojo.com if you need an e-invoice submission via Vendors@Gov\, or to claim from your organisation.

Drawing on ecology\, history and imagination\, this guided experience invites deeper reflection on how humans relate to the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this session\n\n\n\nExperiencing the Metacrisis in Admiralty Park is a 2.5-hour guided experience led by storyteller Wilson Chew\, inviting participants to encounter Admiralty Park through nature\, history\, imagination and reflection. \n\n\n\nWe will be guided to explore a pond\, a weir\, a bridge\, a river\, a young forest\, a mangrove boardwalk\, and all the rich biodiversity that they contain. Along the way\, we may encounter both native and introduced species of plants and animals. Nature does not always appear at our beck and call\, but with some luck\, we may see monitor lizards\, wild cucumbers\, white-breasted waterhens\, snakes\, herons\, squirrels\, nipah palms\, mudskippers and more. As an experienced nature guide\, Wilson will share more about what we notice together on the trail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTold through four chapters across the park\, we will explore and discuss different ways humans have related to the natural world. Along the way\, Wilson will draw from historical sources\, such as archival material on the Sembawang Naval Base\, as well as more metaphorical and imaginative lenses\, like Italo Calvino’s ‘Invisible Cities’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChapter 1: Straight-line Thinking vs Eco-system Thinking\n\n\n\nWhat is a ‘pest’\, and who gets to decide? We will look at mosquitoes in Singapore\, and the long-running efforts by Singapore to control them – while not getting swarmed ourselves. \n\n\n\nKey metacrisis dynamics explored – the ‘hyper-agency’ of humans as world-shapers\, combined with our tendency towards ‘straight-line’ solutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChapter 2: Empire\, Boundaries\, Nature and Extraction\n\n\n\nNext\, we meet the ghost of the British Empire\, in whose eyes Singapore was in fact full of natural resources and economic opportunity. At what point did we stop seeing nature as a target of exploitation\, and what viewpoint replaced that? \n\n\n\nKey metacrisis dynamic explored – extractive thinking\, ambition and the immense scale of human enterprise\, against the backdrop of an altered landscape. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChapter 3: Precariousness and Awareness\n\n\n\nWe continue to reflect on the fate of the settlements along the river and the dislocation that arose from their ‘progress’ into ‘modern society’. But how precarious\, really\, is our progress? \n\n\n\nKey metacrisis dynamic explored – the ‘baseline effect’ and what becomes difficult to imagine when older landscapes\, species and ways of life disappear from memory? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChapter 4: Intellectual Knowledge vs Embodied Understanding\n\n\n\nClosing out on the mangrove boardwalk\, we will encounter one of nature’s most remarkable and resilient ecosystems. \n\n\n\nKey metacrisis dynamic explored – the difference between knowing\, in theory\, and experiencing it through the body. How do we embody understanding\, and what difference does it make to how we act? \n\n\n\nLight snacks will be provided along the way\, with several stops to rest and take a break. We end off at Woodlands Waterfront Park. If you’d like to continue the conversations\, please join in for a halal community lunch (self-paid) at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront Restaurant on the Woodlands Jetty overlooking Johor. \n\n\n\nThis session is for those who…\n\n\n\n\nWant to continue their journey in learning about the polycrisis and metacrisis.\n\n\n\nSense that our disconnection from nature has deeper consequences than we realise.\n\n\n\nWant to slow down\, observe\, and ask what wiser actions might look like in the midst of the polycrisis and metacrisis.\n\n\n\nAre curious about nature\, cities and the stories that connect them.\n\n\n\nHave wondered whether our relationship with nature can be more than control\, extraction\, expansion or convenience.\n\n\n\nWould love to reconnect with fellow participants from past ‘Crisis To Clarity’ events.\n\n\n\n\nBrief Programme\n\n\n\n\n \n \n 9:20am\n Meet at Admiralty Park Amphitheater\n \n \n 9.30am\n Guided walk starts\n \n\n\n 10.30am\n 10 min break with light snacks provided\n \n\n 12pm\n Guided walk ends at Woodlands Waterfront Park\n \n \n \n [Optional]\n Post-session lunch (self-pay) at Woodlands Jetty’s Rasa Istimewa Waterfront Restaurant\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Knowledge Partner: Wilson Chew\n\n\n\nWilson grew up listening to his father’s stories about the kampongs in Kranji – kampongs that he missed seeing by just a few years. Now\, in between working as a user experience designer and facilitator\, he tries to grow this residual connection with a very different Singapore through stories\, walks in forests\, and trying to spot and identify birds with mixed success. \n\n\n\nSometimes he gets around to writing\, and you can read what was written here: https://greenmargin.substack.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\n\n\nWhat should I bring for this? Do bring along your earphones so you can hear the stories being told through a free-to-use online platform. While most of the trail is under the cover of trees\, you may want to bring a cap\, a water bottle and insect repellent. There will be some light snacks (bread & drinks) provided along the way\, but you are more than welcome to bring your own source of sustenance.\n\n\n\nI attended Studio Dojo’s ‘Crisis To Clarity’ Introduction to the Metacrisis session. How does this session differ from that? Those sessions provide a broad overview of the polycrisis and metacrisis. In this session\, nature is our teacher and we will get to experience and see the concepts happening around us\, and not only as intellectual discussions. It also adds more to your steps tracker and burns some calories!\n\n\n\nIs there a wet weather plan? Depending on the weather forecast the day before\, we may advise you to bring a raincoat or umbrella. We hope to do this\, rain or shine.\n\n\n\nWill there be toilets? There are 3 opportunities to use washrooms – At the starting location\, about 1.5 hours into the walk\, and at the Woodlands Waterfront end point.\n\n\n\nIs the trail wheelchair and pram friendly? While major portions are accessible and have flat terrain\, the last segment at the mangrove boardwalk may require navigating a short flight of stairs. Please let us know if you have any requirements and we will do our best to accommodate during the trail.\n\n\n\nI can’t make it for this session. Will there be another run?Please follow us on our social media channels (LinkedIn\, Instagram) to get updated should we run future sessions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time27 June 2026\, Saturday9.30AM to 12PM \n\n\n\n\n\nFormatHalf-day\, In-person guided trail (outdoor) \n\n\n\nLocationMeet at Admiralty Park Amphitheater+ Google Map \n\n\n\nTicket TypeStandard: S$15 URL:https://www.studiodojo.com/events/experiencing-metacrisis-admiralty-park-jun2026/ LOCATION:Admiralty Park CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.studiodojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CTC-AdmiraltyPark2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20260616T093000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20260618T180000 DTSTAMP:20260726T211531 CREATED:20260115T073127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260615T013038Z UID:19448-1781602200-1781805600@www.studiodojo.com SUMMARY:Insights That Matter - Jun 2026 Registration DESCRIPTION:16-18 JUNE 2026\, 9.30AM-6PM\n\n\n\nTopics covered: Different processes when working with data; conceptual and emotional frameworks for interpreting data and the 5 criteria of good insights. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a 3-day hands-on\, in-person workshop that delves into the messiness of sense-making.

Please contact Zilin at billing@studiodojo.com with the necessary information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTestimonials from past participants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I met Sohail unexpectedly in 2005 at conference on University of Tomorrow\, in Luxembourg. I learnt about futures and scenario planning from his lucid presentation then. Within the next month\, Sohail was in Penang to lead a team of 30 academics from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to plan ahead for the 2025. By 2008\, USM won the prestigious bid to be Malaysia’s only APEX status university based on the outcome of the scenario plan\, in particular as ‘The Sustainability-led University.’ The rest is history.\n\nI find Sohail’s approach to the futures very instructive and practical for those who are looking for a model of transformation in an uncertain future. It is also fun-filled as much as it is thought-provoking!”Former RectorInternational Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)\, \n& Immediate-past President\, International Association 
of Universities (IAU)\, Paris \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“What I love about futures and the way Sohail teaches it is that it opens participants minds that visions have to be more than possible futures: they have to be preferred futures. To unleash them\, people have to think outside the box and use not just knowledge and evidence but also emotions and creativity. \n\nThe importance of Sohail’s course is evident now: the global community experiences first-hand why futures thinking with all its tools like emerging issues analysis\, scenario planning with radical change scenarios\, and backcasting are important. Had we used them across countries\, agencies\, and stakeholders\, we would be in a much better position as a global community to respond to and manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.”Dr. Susann Roth(MD\, MPH\, PHD) Principal Knowledge Sharing \nand Services Specialist\, Asian Development Bank \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I have had the pleasure of working with Professor Inayatullah across a number of global think tanks and law enforcement initiatives over the last 13 years. He is always excellent in what he does\, and brings fresh ideas and expert analysis of the highest level to the table. Professor Inayatullah helps to generate insights that transform the way you think and how you process the world around\, opening key skills for futures thinking. Our current work together has seen Professor Inayatullah support INTERPOL and key high profile partners in the exploration of scenarios for the post COVID-19 environment and the role of law enforcement as well as police cooperation.”Anita HazenbergFormer Director\, \nInnovation Centre Directorate\, Interpol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ivana Milojević is one of the most brilliant and original futures researchers of her generation. Her work on gender and education is groundbreaking and provides essential insights into the socio-cultural dimensions of our global futures.”Dr. Jennifer GidleyFormer President\,World Futures Studies Federation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudents and teaching staff frequently describe Ivana as “insightful\,” “deeply empathetic\,” and “capable of deconstructing the most rigid power structures through gentle but firm inquiry.”The University of the Sunshine Coast \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOften cites Ivana as a premier facilitator who can bridge the gap between “hard” strategic planning and “soft” cultural transformation. She is credited with making foresight accessible to NGOs and grassroots organisations.The UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Dr. Inayatullah has become the World Class futurist\, giving thousands 
of lectures\, workshops and consultations literally all over the world\, and writing scores of highly-regarded articles and books about all aspects of futures studies.
His position as the first UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies is merely one indication of the esteem in which he is held in the global futures community and by the thousands of people whose lives he has influenced through his teaching\, writing\, and example.”Jim DatorProfessor Emeritus\, Hawaii Research Center\nfor Future Studies\, University of Hawaii at Manoa \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I feel fortunate to have found this course. I was looking for a training on futures because I was interested in how trends and human behaviour shape the future. However\, as I worked through the course\, I began to understand there are many other variables.The most valuable takeaway for me was to realise the future is not predetermined – the future is an asset with many possibilities. This opened my mind. I like that the course offers many exercises which helped me put concepts into practice\, and I appreciate

Search engines\, online encyclopaedias\, and AI technologies are enabling us to access and create information with more ease and speed than before. Human minds no longer need to be the repository for facts and information. \n\n\n\nIn this world\, conventional modes of learning that pass knowledge from teacher to learner are no longer enough. How do we design and facilitate relevant\, effective learning experiences for these changing needs? How do we move away from teaching to truly focus on learning? \n\n\n\nA return to the essence of learning—interacting with each other and with our environments—is what makes the difference. \n\n\n\nIn this one-day masterclass\, you will learn to facilitate collective learning experiences through techniques that introduce elements of play and an awareness of space and people. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn \n\n\n\nThe essentials and practice of exformative design\, non-informative education\, and play-based learning\, including: \n\n\n\n\nWorking with space and place as factors contributing to learning\n\n\n\nWorking with people and groups as a driving factor for learning results\n\n\n\nGamesercises (inspired by theatre practitioner and drama theorist Augusto Boal) and other group-assessing formats\n\n\n\n\nThis is for you if: \n\n\n\n\nYou are a designer\, facilitator\, educator\, trainer\, Agile coach\, Scrum Master\, community architect\, social worker\, actor (or you are just yourself and this sounds like something you’d like to do)\n\n\n\nYou want a different perspective on how to teach/ facilitate or on how people learn\n\n\n\nYou hope to transform teaching and learning in your organisation\, and are looking for ways to build up a good case\n\n\n\nYou work with people and groups and want to find ways to make your work stronger\n\n\n\nYou are open to non-conventional learning design\, but are not sure where to start\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Trainer\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancis Laleman\n\n\n\nFOUNDER\, AGILE FACILITATION BEYOND BORDERS\n\n\n\nFrancis is a designer\, writer\, educationist\, and facilitator.

Something just isn’t working despite our best efforts and you want to understand why.In this session\, we will be exploring the common\, underlying system dynamics and incentives that drive many of the wicked problems we are experiencing and contributing to\, without even us knowing. The concepts we will cover are an introduction into the work of Nate Hagens\, Daniel Schmachtenberger and Ian McGilchrist. \n\n\n\nTogether we will: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the differences between the permacrisis\, polycrisis and metacrisis.\n\n\n\nUnderstand key drivers of behaviour common across all types of crises.\n\n\n\nExplore how these drivers repeat themselves in areas that affect our lives in big and small\, direct and indirect ways\, such as social media\, school\, weapons of mass destruction\, AI\, businesses and politics.\n\n\n\nConsider: What is the wisest thing we can do now?\n\n\n\n\nLunch is included\, and we’re thrilled to share that it will feature a vibrant\, plant-powered twist on a beloved classic—vegan nasi lemak. A perfect way to nourish both body and soul\, as we continue the conversation through the session. \n\n\n\nThis session is for those who…\n\n\n\nSeek to understand the deep\, complex roots of a world in turmoil\, yet still believe in the beauty and sacredness of striving for change. It’s for those who feel that something is “off” in the world\, and yet choose to act with conviction\, from a place of heart rather than fear. For the questioners\, the seekers\, the ones who resist despair and dare to awaken\, knowing that even in the mess\, there is hope—and that every small act of resistance matters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\n\n\nIs this a lecture?The session will be a combination of sharing\, hands-on experiential activities and small group discussions.\n\n\n\nI can’t make it for this session. Will there be another run?Please follow us on our social media channels (LinkedIn\, Instagram) to get updated should we run future sessions.\n\n\n\nI attended ‘The World is in a Mess’ session at the Creating Narratives For Change 2024\, how does this session differ from that?The current session is much longer\, allowing for more time dedicated to group discussions and reflections. Lunch will also be provided.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time22 February 2025\, Saturday10AM to 3PM \n\n\n\n\n\nFormatFull-day\, In-person Workshop \n\n\n\nLocationCommon Ground21 Bedok North Street 1Singapore 469659+ Google Map URL:https://www.studiodojo.com/events/understanding-metacrisis-feb2025/ CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.studiodojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FrC2C-Metacrisis.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20241004T093000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20241004T170000 DTSTAMP:20260726T211531 CREATED:20240719T022132Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240930T013608Z UID:16984-1728034200-1728061200@www.studiodojo.com SUMMARY:Design Without Losing Your Soul DESCRIPTION:Enhance your design leadership and become an agent of change \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nUnlock your inner leader and make a real impact!

Helps move away from worldview blindness.\n\n\n\nDeconstructs the dominant or business and usual understanding and then allows for a reconstruction of alternative futures.\n\n\n\nEnsures that the new narrative is accompanied by new measures (litanies) as well as required system changes to ensure robustness of implementation strategy.\n\n\n\nIdentifies where are the resistors and resistances to change and what and where are the possibilities of transformation.\n\n\n\nEnsures that the new preferred future is inclusive of the disowned strategy.\n\n\n\n\nFinally\, CLA is used as a tool for people to understand their own story about the future\, and their role in the foresight process. This is critical in helping people gain agency\, in the ability to understand\, manage\, and shape personal futures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConflict Transformation Futures\n\n\n\nConflict is everywhere. \n\n\n\nEven in the most loving of families\, and in the most supportive of communities\, there is conflict. People often avoid conflict because they are scared of it\, and or do not have appropriate skills to address it. But conflict can be a wonderful opportunity to get to the next level of our relationships\, to create positive social change\, to improve our communities and societies\, and that is all possible if we know how to deal with conflict constructively. Too often\, we deal with conflict destructively\, which means that instead of transforming it to create something new; a different and better future\, we actually go towards the root of violence. \n\n\n\nWhen we look at the past\, we get one approach. But when we go into the future which is much more open\, we are in a much better position to deal with the conflict in the present moment. We will utilise the future as a resource to transform conflict in the present moment. Conflict can be an opportunity to create something novel\, something different\, and in that sense\, we are going to look at where we want to go rather than where we have been. \n\n\n\nVisit Metafuture School for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\n\n\n\nAn overview of the Six Pillars approach to Futures\n\n\n\nA conceptual and embodied understanding of Causal Layered Analysis and its use in analysing and resolving systemic\, organisational and personal issues\n\n\n\nCapacity to analyse and develop the preferred vision and policy for institutions and organisations\n\n\n\nCapacity to use futures methods to better understand probable\, possible and preferred futures\n\n\n\nHow to use the future to help you resolve inner and outer conflicts in your personal and professional life\n\n\n\nCapacity to use conflict constructively to create preferred futures\n\n\n\nLinking Conflict with Causal Layered Analysis\n\n\n\nCase studies from conflict transformational futures at personal\, organisational\, and institutional levels will be presented\n\n\n\n\nThis is for you if you…\n\n\n\n\nWould like to get an introduction to Futures Thinking.\n\n\n\nAre already familiar with Futures and Foresight and would like to deep dive into CLA to enrich your own toolbox with a structured\, proven and innovative approach.\n\n\n\nAre looking to develop new strategies and policies in organisations\, institutions and communities.\n\n\n\nWant experienced practitioners to help guide your exploration of your own specific organisational contexts and situations of conflict.\n\n\n\nAre curious to learn from two leading figures in the domain of Futures.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Trainers\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Sohail Inayatullah\n\n\n\nA political scientist and futurist\, Sohail is the UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies at the Sejahtera Centre for Sustainability and Humanity\, IIUM\, Malaysia.

This phenomenon of constant self-doubt over your abilities is known as Imposter Syndrome (IS). It’s a familiar experience\, but how much do we really know about it? \n\n\n\nOur Studio Dojo team has been interested in this phenomenon and carried out a study to understand IS better. We are intrigued by the seeming incongruence between the fact that IS is an experience faced by many\, and yet solutions often focus on the individuals to take actions. We continue to explore the question: What are other ways we can look at it\, instead of thinking we are the problem to be fixed? \n\n\n\nJoin us for Let’s Talk About Imposter Syndrome\, a free community event on 18 April 2024 (Thu). Using interactive activities\, you will share and learn more about diverse experiences of IS from others in the room\, hear our team’s sharing of findings from our study\, and collectively explore larger contextual\, socio-cultural factors that may have contributed to our IS experiences. \n\n\n\nDinner will be provided. \n\n\n\nAbout Design Dough\n\n\n\nDesign Dough was created with the intention to bring designers and changemakers closer\, to grow and support each other within the community. There is an intriguing quality to doughs\, constantly being kneaded and left to rise\, in the process of evolving into something with unlimited possibilities. Hence\, the name Design Dough was born. \n\n\n\nRead about what happened in our earlier Design Dough events: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding and Working with Resistance\n\n\n\nDesign Dough: Let’s Talk about Blind Spots\n\n\n\nDesigners in a Pandemic: Holding Space for Unsaid Conversations\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time18 April 2024\, Thursday7.30PM to 9.30PM \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation Common Ground 21 Bedok North Street 1 Singapore 469659 + Google Map \n\n\n\nFormatIn-person Workshop \n\n\n\nTicket TypesStandard: FREE URL:https://www.studiodojo.com/events/design-dough-imposter-syndrome/ CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.studiodojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/DD-IS-Social-Media.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20240406T090000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20240406T130000 DTSTAMP:20260726T211531 CREATED:20240325T022838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240403T063939Z UID:16271-1712394000-1712408400@www.studiodojo.com SUMMARY:Clay and Consciousness DESCRIPTION:A reflective pottery session with Studio Dojo \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Session\n\n\n\nHow do I feel about myself?What is the present moment inviting me to notice?What is troubling me these days that I haven’t given myself time to feel? \n\n\n\nHow often do we give ourselves the time and space to wonder these questions? And for those of us who do\, do we pay attention to our mind-body connection and the wisdom it has to offer? \n\n\n\nIf such questions interest you\, join Studio Dojo for a morning of pottery and guided reflection. In the comfort of an intimate small group\, our friends from School of Clay Arts will be teaching us the pottery technique of handbuilding. As our hands play with the clay\, we will also be curious and reflect on the relationship we have with ourselves. We will leave with a piece of artwork\, and a deeper sensing of ourselves. \n\n\n\nLunch will be included in the last hour of the session. To minimise food waste\, please let us know during your registration\, if you wish to opt out of lunch. You may indicate your dietary restrictions via the registration form too. \n\n\n\nAbout School of Clay Arts\n\n\n\nSchool of Clay Arts (est. 2016) is a ceramic studio dedicated to developing the craft and practice of pottery that inspires and guides the development of the self. They have a strong focus on developing skills-based ceramic classes for beginners and intermediate practitioners who want a deeper engagement with clay. \n\n\n\nThey coalesce contemporary values through the sustainable art of pottery. In blending mindfulness practices with their structured guidance\, they help to elevate the self-awareness in individuals through fun\, transformational and authentic pottery activities. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitators\n\n\n\n\n\nMuhd Nur Aliff\n\n\n\nLEAD FACILITATOR\n\n\n\nAs an ontological coach\, Aliff practises the delicate dance of challenging and supporting others who are seeking changes in their worlds. The dance lies in the questions he asks: to provoke their current ways of being and in the next breath\, to make their ambitions feel attainable to them. \n\n\n\nHe believes that with greater self-awareness\, we can then choose how we want to show up. His interests in human development\, research and facilitation complement his ongoing work of creating spaces that invite us all to reflect. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHong Khai Seng\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FACILITATOR\n\n\n\nAs a design coach\, some of Khai Seng’s wide-ranging interests are in the fields of facilitation\, adult learning\, human development and Integral Coaching. He is always looking to experiment with new ways to support people\, connect communities\, and understand ourselves in ever-deepening ways. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time6 April 2024\, Saturday9AM to 1PM \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation Common Ground 21 Bedok North Street 1 Singapore 469659 + Google Map \n\n\n\nFormatHalf-day\, In-person Session \n\n\n\nTicket TypesStandard: S$25 URL:https://www.studiodojo.com/events/clay-and-consciousness/ CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.studiodojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/clayconsciousness-cover.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20240119T090000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20240119T180000 DTSTAMP:20260726T211531 CREATED:20231207T025333Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231222T034629Z UID:15793-1705654800-1705687200@www.studiodojo.com SUMMARY:Unconventional Facilitation: Participatory Learning Through Forum Theatre DESCRIPTION:About this Masterclass\n\n\n\nThe increasingly complex and ambiguous world we live in today calls for a shift away from what we learn to how we learn. Learners have to be active participants\, capable of contributing to their learning and voicing out what they know and need. \n\n\n\nA key way to foster active participation is through participatory learning design\, a technique that involves stakeholders and learners directly in designing the learning experience. It generates a sense of co-ownership and meaningful engagement early in the process. The value of participatory learning design is not in the outcome; it is the true learning that happens in the co-creation process. \n\n\n\nThis one-day masterclass introduces the essentials and practice of participatory learning design with an unconventional twist: the use of Forum Theatre-based scenarios. By making space for learners to meet and co-create playful learning scenarios\, Forum Theatre effectively generates grassroots-level engagement and participation. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\n\n\nThe essentials and practice of participatory design\, non-informative education\, and meaningful engagement\, including: \n\n\n\nWorking with space\, place\, and peopleLeveraging grassroots engagement for learningCasting the forum and the commons as participants\, and co-designing Forum Theatre scenariosBraving uncertainties with specActor plays\n\n\n\nThis is for you if:\n\n\n\nYou are a qualitative researcher\, designer\, facilitator\, educator\, trainer\, Agile coach\, Scrum Master\, community architect\, social worker\, actor (or you are just yourself and this sounds like something you’d like to do)You want a different perspective on how to teach/ facilitate or on how people learnYou hope to transform teaching and learning in your organisation\, and are looking for ways to build up a good caseYou work with people and groups and want to find ways to make your work strongerYou are open to non-conventional learning design or using improv and theatre formats in your work\, but are not sure where to start\n\n\n\nAbout Unconventional Facilitation\n\n\n\nUnconventional Facilitation is a series of events and masterclasses hosted by Studio Dojo in collaboration with trainer Francis Laleman.

Search engines\, online encyclopaedias\, and AI technologies are enabling us to access and create information with more ease and speed than before. Human minds no longer need to be the repository for facts and information. \n\n\n\nIn this world\, conventional modes of learning that pass knowledge from teacher to learner are no longer enough. How do we design and facilitate relevant\, effective learning experiences for these changing needs? How do we move away from teaching to truly focus on learning? \n\n\n\nA return to the essence of learning—interacting with each other and with our environments—is what makes the difference. \n\n\n\nIn this one-day masterclass\, you will learn to facilitate collective learning experiences through techniques that introduce elements of play and an awareness of space and people. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn \n\n\n\nThe essentials and practice of exformative design\, non-informative education\, and play-based learning\, including: \n\n\n\nWorking with space and place as factors contributing to learningWorking with people and groups as a driving factor for learning resultsGamesercises (inspired by theatre practitioner and drama theorist Augusto Boal) and other group-assessing formats\n\n\n\nThis is for you if: \n\n\n\nYou are a designer\, facilitator\, educator\, trainer\, Agile coach\, Scrum Master\, community architect\, social worker\, actor (or you are just yourself and this sounds like something you’d like to do)You want a different perspective on how to teach/ facilitate or on how people learnYou hope to transform teaching and learning in your organisation\, and are looking for ways to build up a good caseYou work with people and groups and want to find ways to make your work strongerYou are open to non-conventional learning design\, but are not sure where to start\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Trainer\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancis Laleman\n\n\n\nFOUNDER\, AGILE FACILITATION BEYOND BORDERS\n\n\n\nFrancis is a designer\, writer\, educationist\, and facilitator.

Search engines\, online encyclopaedias\, and AI technologies are enabling us to access and create information with more ease and speed than before. In this world\, human minds no longer need to be the repository for facts and information. \n\n\n\nWhat then do we need from our learning experiences and education\, which has for too long focused on providing information through memory work and rote learning? And how do we design for these changing learning needs? \n\n\n\nLearning to interact with each other and with our environments may be what makes the difference in facilitation next. \n\n\n\nJoin us for Unconventional Facilitation: Gamesercises as we return to the essence of learning—a wisdom that we have always known\, but have long forgotten. The concept of Gamesercises takes inspiration from Augusto Boal\, a Brazilian theatre practitioner and drama theorist. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Experience \n\n\n\n Here’s what will happen\, in seven steps: \n\n\n\n     First things first: playing with space     Then the next thing: awareness     All together and everything at the same time.      Playfully there.     Review.     Retrospective.     Time for some social space. \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis session will be run by Francis Laleman from Agile Facilitation Beyond Borders and hosted by Studio Dojo. Francis is a designer\, writer\, educationist\, and facilitator. For nearly twenty years\, he lived in India and Sri Lanka – trying to be a monk\, aspiring to be a Sanskrit teacher\, and writing the first few sentences of a good one hundred of imaginary books. \n\n\n\nCome for a 2-hour taster session where you will experience facilitation exercises that help you learn how to respond to space and each other playfully. This session is a preview of a one-day Masterclass to be conducted by Studio Dojo in November 2023. \n\n\n\nRegister for free and connect with our community.

No\, really.It tells you what matters to you\, and the person you are speaking with.Recall the times when you were \n\n\n\nconfronted by aggressive and challenging behaviours;saying ‘yes’ but actually meaning ‘no’;feeling unease in a conversation that was going nowhere.\n\n\n\nYou might have felt annoyed\, puzzled\, and frustrated – and not yet had the skills to process and address the situation. Most of us shove it aside. Some choose not to notice it at all. But unpacking the resistance can pave the way to richer relationships\, effective partnerships\, and a more fulfilling environment at work and at home. \n\n\n\n“Our job is not to ‘overcome’ or argue with resistance\, but to notice and understand.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– Peter Block\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPartnering with The Flame Centre\, join us on our 3rd iteration of Design Dough\, where we unpack our experiences of resistance\, take away practical steps to manage resistances better and connect with others seeking growth. \n\n\n\nDinner will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Design Dough\n\n\n\nDesign Dough was created with the intention to bring designers closer\, to grow and support each other within the design community. There is an intriguing quality to doughs\, constantly being kneaded and left to rise\, in the process of evolving into something with unlimited possibilities\, hence the name Design Dough was born. \n\n\n\nRead about what happened in our earlier Design Dough events: \n\n\n\nDesigners in a Pandemic: Holding Space for Unsaid ConversationsDesign Dough: Let’s Talk about Blind Spots\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time5 July 2023\, Wednesday7.30PM to 9.30PM \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation Common Ground 21 Bedok North Street 1 Singapore 469659 + Google Map \n\n\n\nFormatIn-person Workshop \n\n\n\nTicket TypesStandard: FREE URL:https://www.studiodojo.com/events/design-dough-jul2023/ LOCATION:Common Ground\, 21 Bedok North Street 1\, Singapore\, Singapore\, 469659 CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.studiodojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/DD3_Square.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20230302T193000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20230302T213000 DTSTAMP:20260726T211531 CREATED:20230117T033441Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230609T015627Z UID:13546-1677785400-1677792600@www.studiodojo.com SUMMARY:Design Dough: Let's Talk about Blind Spots DESCRIPTION:How to discover and deal with your blind spots \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this unConference\n\n\n\nPersonal growth isn’t as straightforward as self-help books and gurus say it is.This is because we have blind spots that we are not aware of. And it is often these blindspots that are holding us back\, because… we don’t even know they are there! And that is where we stumble\, without realising.Here’s a thought experiment for you. Think back to the last time someone pointed out a blindspot of yours\, which caused you to gain an insight and make a significant change. Remember that “ah ha!” feeling? That was the insight of something that you were previously blind to\, but which you now saw.Join us for an unConference on blindspots and growth\, to discuss what it means to discover and deal with one’s blindspots\, and to connect with others seeking growth.Light drinks and snacks will be provided. \n\n\n\nAbout Design Dough\n\n\n\nDesign Dough was created with the intention to bring designers and changemakers closer\, to grow and support each other within the community.
