#play14 - The first Serious Games gathering in Luxembourg,

About the event

More than an event, a happening!
Come and share your practices!What is #play14?#play14 is a gathering of serious gamers, learning-by-doing practitioners, games designers, serious games facilitators from various communities like agile, education, culture, service design, improvisation theatre, psychology, language pathology services, creativity, HR services ... 
During a weekend, people from various professional domains will share knowledge and practices around the topic of games as a way to teach differently and allow people to learn more efficiently new skills or cultural concepts.Serious games - our definitionBy serious games, we mean activities we can use in a classroom, during a workshop or any other learning situation. Are excluded from our definition serious games as video games. The serious games we are talking about in this event are not digital.Who should attend?Anyone who is using (or is willing to use) side activities to improve the learning experience while teaching something to people, or more generally while trying to change a behaviour or some cultural aspects of a group of people.How will we achieve these goals?We propose you to gather with like-minded people on a unconference format. This means no slideshows, no rockstar sessions in push mode, but collaborative sessions where people get the opportunity to learn and practice but also discuss and challenge. 
So, bring the materials you need to organize and facilitate the learning activities you already know in order to share them actively with your peers in a learning-by-doing and collaborative mindset.What is unconference?Unconference is a conference format where attendees are also session contributors. 
There are some simple rules for participants. They will be explained during the Friday evening plenary welcome speech, but usually, participants create the scheduling of the sessions during a marketplace session taking place at the beginning of each day of the event (saturday morning and sunday morning). 
Anyone who wants to initiate a topic can claim a time slot in the agenda.

Why should you sponsor?
