#EverydayCreativity 2022 | Playeum (2023)

9 & 10 December 2022

Common Ground Civic Centre

Play has the power to bring people together and unleash the inherent potential of every child and adult – giving us the tools to transform our experiences and strengthen our communities.

Playeum’s Everyday Creativity Festival this year explores what it means to play with the theme #ThePowerofPlay, because it is not just about WHY play, but HOW to play for change. We invite you to join us in experiencing all the ways in which play can traverse boundaries, reshape narratives and affect how we respond to the complex world we live in. The festival will feature artful play experiences, creative workshops, intercultural conversations, play installations, showcases directed by children and more - there’s something for everyone. Join us as we embody the creative energy of play to unlock new ways of learning and thriving together.
