What is CounterPlay ‘15? CounterPlay is an international festival exploring and challenging the

role of games, play and playful ness in our jobs and our lives.

We believe play is a powerful force that can be leveraged for a multitude of purposes. This includes play with the sole purpose of playing, and play that has a purpose “outside” of play. CounterPlay ‘15 invites students from all institutions to use their skills and engagement to create concepts, ideas, products, games or something completely different to invade our lives with playfulness.

We have three domains and these will be your only constraints to consider. Otherwise, you are free to make your contributions to this year’s festival as you see fit. The three tracks are as follows:

Playful Organisations:How can we integrate playfulness in organizations and businesses?

Playful Learning: How can we integrate playfulness in learning?

Playful Culture:How can we integrate playfulness in our everyday life?

It should also be mentioned that one of the festivals main themes this year is “Playful Cities”.

Let this inspire you as much as you want it too.
