I will share my Children's Board dream as a radical new way of learning in multiple directions in the museum context. Children teach us at the same time they learn from the Museum reality and transform it.

Learning and Education for Sustainable Development CoP Impact Hub Zürich
May 7, 2024 Tuesday
Impact Hub Zürich Colab
We tend to see play as a naive "children's activity". But play is much more than that. What would happen if we started to play more with ourselves and others? How would this affect our well-being, motivation, creativity, and passion? How could we do this by learning from those who are best at it, the children?
In our session, we will play together to rediscover the joy of the experience of playing for the sake of playing, as children know to do. We will connect with our inner child, be able to show others our vulnerability through play, celebrate our failures, and wild imagine futures where we can continue playing and telling amazing stories.

Stories for healing, playing, and learning
May 4, 2024, Saturday
2:30 PM IST | 11:00 AM CET
In cooperation with Little Leaps
Embark on an enlightening journey with us to explore the enchanting universe crafted or portrayed by children worldwide through captivating stories. Stories of healing, compassion, triumph... Stories with the potential to positively transform the world, as articulated by a wise 9-year-old guest: "You adults are a mess. You've got everything in a mess. And you won't let us fix it." This event aims to empower parents, educators, caregivers, writers, journalists, cultural professionals, creators, and policymakers to delve into the unique realm of children's storytelling, resonating deeply with Montessori philosophy.

Let's Play Together! Should we play more in our museums?
MUSEUMS AND CHANGE
Thursday, 4/11, at 12:30 pm EDT
There is nothing more serious, urgent, and important than play. When we play we become the best version of ourselves. We are fully connected to who we are and to the present, we relate authentically to others, we are more creative and empathetic, we learn better by overcoming our fears and prejudices, and we get a lot out of just being. Unfortunately, as museum professionals, we tend to see play as a "children's activity" that we organize to attract families. But play is much more than that.
What would happen if we started to play more with our work colleagues? How would this affect our well-being, motivation, and involvement? How could we do this by learning from those who are best at it--children? Today more than ever, play is a necessity for everyone and museums must elevate it as an internal strategic priority.

Agora der Zukunftsvögel. Eine Synersphäre für Zukunftsgestaltung
Luzern, 15 February 2024
In this very special Agora in cooperation with Catalyst Lab from Collavoratio Helvetica my AI Storytelling-Education fireside group/gang Gregory Turkawka and Anny Barbey plans to make a mess of it by playing, listening to your story, and threading it with other stories with which we are creating a great tapestry of stories from all over the world to start learning in another way more and better connected with our authentic inner children. We would love you to participate in our experiment called The Globe. We promise to have a good time in our Playground and above all to meet each other again and celebrate the joy of life by telling it in the form of your story.

Webinar "Back to the kindergarten. Reconnecting with your inner-self by playing"
Community Call in cooperation with Collaboratio Helvetica
5 February 2024. 7 pm.
We have become accustomed to "going along for the ride" by not being who we are. We are what our boss wants, our partner wants, our friend wants, but we are not us. We are permanently disconnected from ourselves, making it impossible for us to connect authentically and deeply with others. We pretend that we listen to the other person, understand them, and care about what happens to them, but deep down we do not. In this webinar we offer some tools to reconnect with your true self through play and the joy of discovering things as you did the first time as a child: the first time you saw a star, the first time you tasted a lemon, the first time you touched the snow. Together we will explore those first times and try to stay in them as long as possible so that you can reconnect with others more authentically and deeply. To do this we will invite you to be vulnerable in a safe and welcoming space similar to a kindergarten for grown-ups.

Berliner Museums Verband Jahrestagung 2023
Wissen im Wandel. Eine Neuverortung des Museums!?
27.11.2023
Zitadelle. Berlin
Mein "Display" soll mit einer scheinbar absurden Frage provozieren: Sind wir in der Lage, über unser Museum 100 Jahre voraus zu denken? Ich werde über seltsame Dinge sprechen, wie die 100 verschiedenen Schneearten, die die Sami kennen, oder das "7-Generationen"-Denken. Darüber würde ich gerne mit Ihnen bei einem guten Kaffee diskutieren.
