Meaningful Connections Through Play – Toby Falconer
Toby Falconer, founder of The Open Fort, wants people, even complete strangers, to connect. He is, among other things, an advocate of placemaking, a movement to make public spaces welcoming, comfortable, inspiring places which are permanently attractive (this definition is ENTIRELY mine, translated from what I’ve read).

Bruno Setola, in discussing Game Thinking: How to Apply Game Mechanics to Engage People with Alyea Sandovar for their 2021 Playful Creative Summit conversation, simplified a lot of complex, difficult concepts so “non-players” can use them.

You’re More Creative Than You Think, Diego Pulido‘s theme for his 2021 Playful Creative Summit discussion with Alyea Sandovar, was delightfully motivating.

Annabel Mangold blew soap bubbles to start her conversation, Priming Your Environment for Creativity, with Alyea Sandoval for the 2021 Playful Creative Summit.

Untold Play, Terry Pearce’s company, is his vehicle for teaching that games can help people learn.
