Who?
Calling for Participants from: Italy, Germany, Slovenia, Poland, France, Spain (Participants from other countries are welcome to apply – their applications can be taken into account if there are a few places left and we find an agreement with our partner organisations.) We are searching for participants who want to: • strenghten their connection to their playfullness • experience a community setting and outside camping within a big group • get to know a wide variety of games research on how to apply and adapt them • know how to prepare and lead group game activities • strengthen thei social competences through working in an intercultural setting • give input into the training, take part in the daily tasks of the training and share knowledge, skills and experience.
What?
As a group we will explore the power of games and their use in various settings. How do they build trust? Solve conflicts? Question ones self? Create a group? Entertain? Connect? Be a tool for sharing? Transforming? Growth? Working through difficult topics? Or simply for fun? We will play a lot! We will share a lot. Our knowledge and our thoughts… We will explore, deconstruct and analyse games of various types: Whats behind the games? What is the structure of a game? What is play? We will learn and practice leading games. We will eventually create and customise our own games for various situations. The training sessions will be lead by the two trainers. There will be also free time to do whatever together (there a 3 kajaks, lots of bikes and a beautifull surrounding with hills, lakes and cliffs to climb).
Project Location
The space where we will live and work together will be Gut Alaune e.V. which is situated between calm Saale river and rough porphyry canyons in a nature reservat close to Halle/Saale (Saxony Anhalt). It‘s a project and living space just outside the city that a little community is setting up since the beginning of 2016 – so some stuff is a little improvised.

Anne Merlin
Anne is a creative explorer. Whilst studying visual arts and interaction design in France, she discovered game dynamics through creative coding and interactive books. Excited about the whole thing, she co-founded Nomadways (www.nomadways.eu) in 2014, where she started crafting and animating workshops mixing performing and visual arts, to explore new ways to play and learn in Europe and beyond. In the meantime, she lived in Greece, Brazil, Seychelles, Portugal and many more countries, experimenting with playful ways to interact and discover one another in multilingual or non verbal settings. Along the way, she collected myriads of tools & methods for collaborative creation, specializing in team dynamics and project design using art, movement and stories to foster cooperation & social action.
