Play, a Tool for the Socio-Ecological Transition
Board Game Evening to Celebrate International Day of Play
Come and play with us!
(And be automatically entered to win prizes!)
Following the success of our very first board game night, we invite you to celebrate the International Day of Play with us on June 11. This is a wonderful opportunity to have fun while continuing to reflect on the connections between play and the socio-ecological transition. We will highlight the benefits of play for peace and sustainable development.
What do we practise when we play board games? What values are conveyed through our games? What can games teach us about cooperation and healthy democracy?
This game night is organized in collaboration with Abl Bla Lab, a collaborative and participatory design agency, which will give away great prizes.
Two Dedicated Areas
To reflect the wide variety of game types and players, we will feature two distinct zones: one for beginner-level players and one for intermediate-like players.
You don’t need to be an expert or know the rules of the featured games to join in! Volunteers will be on-site to explain everything. Teenagers are more than welcome!
Evening Schedule:
- Icebreaker: conversation and networking game
- Background presentation: The International Day of Play, decreed by the UN
- Introduction to the featured board games
- Play sessions by zone
- Lively plenary session and feedback
