#play14 Berlin 2024

#play14 is an international gathering of like-minded people who believe playing is the best way to learn and understand!

For two and a half days, participants from different backgrounds and experiences are meeting to share serious games & fun activities, adventures & tips, knowledge & insights, laughs & smiles. Everyone is welcome to join.

A proposed activity could be a lot of things, like

• a serious game, e.g., the Ball Point Game, The Maze or The Kanban Pizza Game, Calculator Game, Commuter Game, Change Game, Magic Pencil Game, Escape the BOOM,
• facilitation techniques, e.g., Training from the BACK of the Room,
• debriefing techniques, e.g., #TheDebriefingCube,
• the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method and materials,
• sketching or doodling together,
• a question or challenge for which you need a solution,
• dancing, laughing, and singing together,
• inventing a new game together,
• a 1-on-1 coaching session,
• improv theater,
• yoga, tai chi, and other mindfulness techniques,
• a soul-searching or deep-dive introspection
• and many more activities our community brings to the event.

It could be anything as long as it respects our Manifesto.

We encourage you to develop your facilitation skills, increase your ability to accompany a change in your organization, foster your creativity, and improve your innovation capacity.

#play14 is an unconference, and all attendees are also contributors. Once you show up, you can propose and facilitate some games, solve your current challenges, or play the games offered by the others.

We are hosted by our generous sponsor, the Underground ClubHouse in the ❤️ of Berlin:

For our #play14 events around the globe, we are using the Open Space Technology. Have a look at this video for a first introduction:
