In June, I had the privilege of co-facilitating an extraordinary event, PLAYTELLIGENCE, hosted by the Global Play Brigade (GPB). My session was titled: DANCING WITH MISTAKES which encouraged students and teachers to look beyond mistakes in order to promote a positive learning outcome. I worked with other educators from Japan, China, Argentina and United States of America to design our amazing session.
This innovative gathering brought together educators, students, and play advocates from around the world to explore the transformative power of play in fostering inclusive and intelligent work in the classroom.
A New Era of Learning
PLAYTELLIGENCE was designed to challenge traditional teaching methods and embrace a more creative, playful, and engaging approach to learning. By leveraging the universal language of play, we aimed to connect educators and students in a shared experience that would unlock new possibilities for inclusive and effective education.
Playful Highlights
Throughout the event, participants engaged in interactive workshops, immersive play sessions, and collaborative discussions. We witnessed:
- Educators rediscovering the joy of play and its potential to break down barriers and build connections with their students.
- Students unleashing their creativity and demonstrating the intelligence that emerges through play.
- A community of like-minded individuals forming, committed to spreading the play revolution in classrooms worldwide.
The Power of Playtelligence
Playtelling embodied the GPB’s mission to harness the power of play to drive positive change. By merging play and intelligence, we can:
- Foster inclusive learning environments where every student thrives.
- Cultivate creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
- Fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
As we continue to inspire and empower educators and students through play, I invite you to join the Global Play Brigade’s mission. Together, let’s unleash the full potential of play to create a brighter, more playful future for all.
