Hi, I’m Nancy and I’m a Play14 addict.
From the 21rst till 23rd of March I went to my fifth Play14 within a period of 1,5 years. So you might say I’m addicted. It was 4 months after my last ‘fix’ in Amsterdam, so I was in definite need of some serious play and learning. If you work with groups or teams in any way, shape or form and would like to have more tools on how to engage, teach, coach, mentor, lead or entertain people #play14 is the place to go!! Play14 is a safe place to experiment and get valuable feedback from people with different backgrounds while learning new ways of working and communicating with people.
There is no better way to get at least 200 hours of great course material within 48 hours. The organisation is non-profit, so I think it's safe to say almost everyone that lives nearby a #Play14 location can afford it. If you can't let me know.
The small print? There is none. The best way to get the most out of this is by bringing your own work formats with you and share them. That's it. Perfect in its simplicity. Bring your stuff and receive 1000x back.
