There is a growing trend in education and personal development: play!
It is more and more observed how playing can help people to learn at school, to learn about themselves and to engage in development within companies. There is a growing number of games that are designed to give much more than some fun time.
The most famous example is probably the Transformation Game developed by the Findhorn community. A powerful tool for personal insight that never stop to surprise me.
Another example is Insight, also a personal development game developed in Italy. The formula is always quite simple and the impact has on the players always important.
I’m pleased to report that also companies are starting to open up to game-based activities to develop their human resources.
In the U.S. there is also a National Institute for Play, committed to unlocks the human potential through play in all stages of life using science to discover all that play has to teach us about transforming our world
All the best
