urban play jam

This workshop begins with learning about placemaking and play design—then we collaborate on turning these into a game that we all play together in Civic Square. Together we will create characters and stories, places and experiences that reimagine and improve your local neighbourhood. We are a diverse community of researchers, students, industry leaders, and policymakers focussed on the social, cultural, and economic opportunities of creative play. If you’re interested, you may be invited to take part in a casual interview during or after the event. You will receive $50 gift card in recognition of your time. Join us at the library to build skills and connections to make the space around us work better for young people.
