We are playful, spontaneous, and carefree as children, always looking for new experiences to grow and expand our imagination.
As adults we are weighted down by responsibilities. With busy schedules full of deadlines, meetings, and never-ending to-do lists, play isn't exactly high on our list of priorities.
However, what we often fail to realise is that we were born to play. It's a part of our biology. For early man our very survival even depended on it. We’ve forgotten that play makes us happy - it allows us to disconnect, express ourselves uninhibitedly and relate to one another. We know that play can even speed up learning, enhance our cognitive abilities, memory and even our productivity.
So, isn't it time for L&D to bring back the power of play? If you could let your imagination run wild and embrace your curiosity, what impact would that have on you personally and professionally? Consider a challenge you're facing at work - we all know that complex problems require creative solutions…
So how do we do it? Well, play can be built into what we do every day, how we interact, how we learn and grow. Play is action, and it is also a mindset. In this unique gamified webinar, we will explore these themes and help you bring ‘purposeful play’ to the L&D in your organisation.

Learn about the science of why we play: from the benefits to early man and hunter gathers, to our curiosity in childhood leading us to be voracious learners. We will share the latest research and delve into the advantages of play for adults at work, as well as related areas of L&D.
The world is changing, and companies are adopting new ways of working. As an L&D professional your role is not only to support your business in making the necessary adjustments to adapt, but also to show your employees how they can be innovative too. Joined by Imagine If Creativity Coach, Cat Hase, our learning design experts will discuss how you can ensure your L&D offering and training experiences help your teams innovate without limitations.
An important part of play is exploration. Our webinar takes place in a dedicated VTT virtual playground hosted on Remo. Together with other participants, you’ll have the chance to explore this virtual platform and share your experience of the latest L&D tools and tech.
