    “Playing to Change the World”

    Here is a bit from their website:
    “…afternoon with Edgard Gouveia. He is a master teacher of Cooperative Games, and we will begin the afternoon with play, discovering how games unlock the best qualities in human beings.”

  • This short film and the project behinds works on bringing play back into the world. Hard to disagree with that.

    It is a 12 minutes film, and it is 12 minutes well spent. Enjoy Seriously! The Future Depends on Play

  • hi Alan
    I am afraid it is not ready be early Feb! The Foundation has secured a production slot in Feb, but the products are not ready for sale until March. It is rather frustrating, but Jette is working hard on this. Are you coming to Billund in April???

  • hi Bob
    Absolutely. The kits will be produced in February – so far so good. The other challenge is that the Foundation will have to set up a sales and distribution channel, but it should all be sorted by Late Feb/early March

  • Dear all, I have received a question from Renzo (below). As I don’t have the boxes in hand then may I ask somebody to use your drawer and measure the Starter Kit – individual boxes and the whole thing to help to reply? Marko —– Hi Marko! My name is Renzo and I’m from Perú

  • StrategicPlay®: Why it Works

    How many times have you attended training or a meeting and thought it was a waste of time? Organizations in North America cannot afford to do this anymore. And life is too short to be bored by another PowerPoint or lecture about some discombobulated concept.

    In short: Yes I do think so. That is the latest message from LEGO

    Some weeks ago I attended the “StrategicPlay® Fundamentals Facilitator Training” at the StrategicPlay® headquarters and have used elements of LEGO Serio

  • In terms of updating the current kit, our focus has simply been on substituting the elements that are being phased out of the LEGO portfolio and finding new with similar functionality. In addition, we had the opportunity to add a new bag with some interesting elements. Finally, the aim was also to keep the price

  • I found a recent article in the Vancouver Sun paper on September 29, 2011, to be very disappointing.  The article explains that a group of teachers form a secondary school attended an offsite retreat where they spent the day engaging in co-operative team building. But the majority of the activities included playing ping-pong, air hockey,

  • Thanks for sharing Robert. I would even go as far as to say not only is the why-circly relevant to our selling, it is also what we are asking into in the identity framing of our Real Time Strategy workshops

  • hi Per,
    it is indeed a great book (and I believe a book that also Marko has recommend on this site). Personally, I have also quoted in a couple of articles and blogs. I really like his notion about how it helps “prepare” us for ambiguity

    • Per – are there still none of the old fiddle bags available?? We are running out of stock so I had best start keeping an eye on this. I thought they had stock for 3 years? Are they not making them any longer? I thought they were popular? Hope all well with you, Regards

      • hi Denise
        There are, or should be, fiddle bags (exploration bags), at least in Europe. From what I know, the local distribution centers sometimes run out, and then mistakenly the consumer service (ie the call center where we order) reports that they are sold out. All is well here. The spring was great, lost of business (playfull business that is).…[Read more]
