Welcome to the Global Play Fest for Changemakers!

This online “festival” on Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16 is a free two-hour gathering of change makers across the globe. The Global Play Brigade has a wonderfully talented (and generous) team of workshop facilitators who specialize in utilizing the tools and ideas of play, creativity, improvisation, role-playing, and storytelling for professional (and human) development.

You can register for one day, or two (this page is for the second day). We’ll first gather together as one group (across many different countries and organizations) and then you’ll get to choose which 45-50 minute workshop you’d like to attend.

So far, the workshop offerings include:

* Creative Grassroots Campaigning

* Restorative Practices for Activists

* Los Juegos de Poder en Ambientes de Trabajo (for Spanish-speakers)

* The Art of Communication

* Restorative Practices for Activists

How will it work?
25-minutes - Welcome & playful warm-up exercise

15-minutes - Reflections

30-minutes - Optional Special Event: A Graduation Celebration for the Global Play Brigade’s Ambassador Program. More info coming soon!

What is a Global Playshop?

The Global Play Brigade hosts three (s) global events per year as part of our mission to make PLAY mainstream and available to all. So far in 2024, we have hosted Heart and Power; where we focussed on mental health and well being, and Playtelligence; where we explored how play and creativity is necessary for learning, development and education. Every attendee has the option of joining workshops of their choice. Our last Global Playshop was attended by over 200 people from 29 countries, including China, Nigeria, Argentina, Ukraine, Serbia, Israel, Kuwait, Gibraltar, Peru, Japan, and the UK. Will you join to build the movement?
