If thinking doesn’t work, try playing
A playful approach to life
We believe that the desire to explore is fuel for creativity. We believe that having fun is healthier than being angry. And we believe that adults can learn just as much or more from children than children can learn from adults.

COVID-19
We won't allow ourselves to be limited but are constantly looking for new opportunities. This means that we continuously experiment with digital/physical meetings and workshops. Here we have gained a wide range of experiences, which we of course take into future meetings and workshops.
We still think that the situation invites to creativity and co-creation in new ways. Let's inspire each other
