I facilitate workshops teaching participants how to play with ideas. I have a Master's degree in Design for Play, the world's first and only master's program in play.
This workshop is based on a post-it framework, that allows the participants to play with ‘unserious’ ideas, meanwhile investigating a serious problem. Opening up the playful mind in a problem-solving context.
Workshop: En tur på idé-vaskeri
This workshop takes the participants from post-it to prototype in one day. Learning about ‘play’, ‘design thinking’ and how to navigate inside a creative proces with tools and methods – going from a complex challenge to a concrete solution.
Workshop: Idé-dag / Designsprint
This workshop is about finding connections, which is the basic principle for getting ideas. The participants will play with the magic of words and illustrations translating them into small and playful ideas.
Workshop: Playing with words, illustration and ideas
We (and especially young people) are living in a performance-driven culture, where we are constantly expected to deliver, to impress and to perform.
To play is to forget these high expectations for a brief moment and to create time and space just for the sake of fun creative exploration, allowing something unexpected and magical to happen. Play and seriousness are not opposites. On the contrary, it takes a serious amount of brave creativity to enter the unknown space of not-yet-discovered ideas.
Why play?
With a changing climate, global conflicts and new technologies every minut, uncertainty surely is a word of our time. We need to learn how to navigate and opperate in this open space of endless possibilities.
To play is to embrace this uncertainty and to welcome our global challenges with a positive and curious attitude. ‘Business as usual’ does not work anymore and the openness of play can help us arrive at new and different solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
