What Is The Session About?

Play is a powerful medium in learning, unpacking resistance, creating a conducive environment for collaboration and observing behaviours, amongst many other things. One of the greatest benefits of play is the opportunity to shift attention and viewpoints as participants take on and then shift roles.

In this session, we will explore the use of imaginative play in facilitation, using things that can be found at home or in the office. It will be a 2.5 hours of creating, testing, playing and having fun.
