Bid Writing, Reimagined
Build better bids with creativity, confidence and clarity
Bid writing doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Join us for a practical, energising 3-hour workshop from Dynamic Potential Academy, blending Design Thinking, LEGO® Serious Play®, and insights from neuroscience to help you develop stronger bids — and maybe even enjoy the process.
What makes this different?
This isn’t a lecture or a checklist. It’s a guided, hands-on experience that helps you:
Find the right opportunities that align with your strengths and values
Understand what funders really want, beyond the brief
Use creative tools to unlock clarity and structure
Start writing a bid using a tailored Bid Canvas you’ll leave with
Build confidence in your voice, story, and impact
Who it’s for
This workshop is ideal for:
Organisations working in creative, education, health, tech, sustainability, or social enterprise
Teams preparing to grow through funding or commissioning opportunities
Business support providers looking to offer high-value, creative development opportunities
Internal teams that need a clearer, more confident approach to writing bids collaboratively
Available as a public session or in-house delivery.
What you’ll leave with
✔️ A live or upcoming bid started using your personalised Bid Canvas
✔️ Clear next steps – not just notes
✔️ Insights into your story, strengths, and value
✔️ A fresh, brain-friendly way of thinking about bids
✔️ Maybe even a LEGO masterpiece or two
Why LEGO® and neuroscience?
When we engage hands-on and visually, we activate parts of the brain that help us access deeper insight, creativity, and clarity, especially when tackling complex or high-pressure tasks like bid writing.
This workshop uses LEGO® Serious Play® and a neuroscience-informed approach to spark new thinking and more confident communication.
