In particular, participants investigated how play and games can be used to engage and activate citizens around the advent of a 'circular economy', with a focus on the flows of food and waste. In this training school, participants explored the affordances of city games in urban public space and deployed these to the theme of the circular economy, with a focus on the flows of food and waste, taking in consideration how can urban games in public space activate citizens around this theme. During five days' programme, participants worked in small interdisciplinary teams towards the design of a prototype for a city game that is to take place in the urban public space in Amsterdam. The programme included lectures from and discussions with city game designers and leading researchers in this field. Objectives To explore the use and design of games and play as activators for public spaces, through lectures, discussions, studio sessions, playing city games themselves, and a hands on approach in which they collaboratively designed a prototype for an urban game in small teams. Making a connection between playful dynamics in public spaces and make those productive in relation to the theme of the circular economy with a focus on the flows of food and waste.

Objective Re-frame the value of plastic. Because of the low visibility of the reuse of the plastic in the community. We wanted to re-energize this part of economy & bring it back into community ownership as a material to be creative with. Enable community to explore and recover value in a more tangible, social and hands-on manner (community of practice). Transform perception of plastic, from trash into something of infinite use and beauty. Plastic collection is making your neighbourhood colourful.
