Employee interviews using tactile methods

Conversations between vocational trainers and trainees are often challenging, especially when it comes to development, expectations, or difficult situations. Eighty vocational trainers from SV Service came together at their national conference with the aim of expanding their repertoire as leaders.

In small groups, we explored together in a LEGO Serious Play workshop how tactile methods can help to deepen conversations, even when the topic is difficult. The participants experienced firsthand how building and showing models creates a shared language that words alone often cannot achieve. The goal was not technology for its own sake, but a new tool that enables genuine connection between vocational trainers and learners.

The participants left the workshop with a concrete methodological tool and a new perspective on how they can develop a sustainable foundation together with their learners, even in moments where direct conversation would otherwise be difficult.
