Why play?
We believe play is under-valued and are committed to using it to advance sustainability.
NOTHING LIGHTS UP THE BRAIN LIKE PLAY
When we play, others want to join.
When we play, we learn.
When we play, we live.
PLAY ISN'T JUST FOR CHILDREN
PLAY IS A TRANSFORMATIVE TOOL THAT HAS THE POWER TO:
Change perspectives
Play helps all of us to look at the world from a different perspective and spark real aha moments about the interlinked pillars of planet, people and profit.
Bring people together
Play offers a safe and fun environment to explore, experiment and learn, in a different way. People get together around a common goal.
Push boundaries
In play, we can do things we wouldn’t normally do. Which may mean taking on a different role, pursuing different goals, being bolder and taking more risks.
Play conveys meaningful content
We believe that play can convey meaningful content and motivate players to drive the change necessary to advance sustainability. We have seen first-hand how experiences during play can shift mindsets and lead to changed behaviours and actions that can be applied to participants personal and professional lives.
INSPIRE. IGNITE. ACTION.
Play is great for team building
In play teams work cohesively together towards a common goal, learning to better understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses and creating bonds that foster genuine connections, deeper discussions and engagement.
CORE SKILLS
PLAY DEVELOPS COMPETENCIES THAT ARE KEY TO DEALING WITH OUR INCREASINGLY COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT AND CHALLENGES:
Collaboration
Games create a sense of shared purpose. Using collective intelligence, players are required to cooperate and work together effectively in order to succeed.
Communication
Interacting with other players, listening carefully, being aware of non-verbal communication, sharing information and negotiating effectively are core play skills.
Creativity
Thinking out of the box, looking at the bigger picture, generating ideas enables players to solve challenges and problems.
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
In today’s world we are constantly connected and constantly distracted.
When we play, we are immersed in the experience. Play allows players to switch off from the real world and become captivated by, focus on and benefit from the learnings gained through play.
Whenever we can, we love to play in-person. We also enjoy connecting with people around the world virtually through highly interactive online workshops.
