The play community, the community of all people sharing a passion for play, across borders & boundaries, is just always so caring & generous. Beautiful initiative by @fjelloper.

Can we together map possibilities for play around the world?

[CounterPlay @CounterPlayFest]

@the_nomi @BrianLockwood @gaemzmu Hi :-) Thanks, Brian! Yeah, Bernie was a friend & big source of inspiration. We were fortunate enough to have him come & play with us not too many years ago.

[CounterPlay @CounterPlayFest]

This was such a fun & inspiring project to do together with our play community. Maybe it's time to do something similar?

[The Fun Fed @thefunfedlondon]

@CounterPlayFest's book The Power of #Play - Voices from the Play Community is a must-read for any play enthusiast!

And if that wasn't enough, here's the second half of the video from #cplay19 with even more wonderful people playing, talking & thinking about play ❤️ https://t.co/DDeRhevLoz

[CounterPlay @CounterPlayFest]

Isn't it just about time for recalling some of the fond memories of people playing at CounterPlay '19? We certainly think so & luckily, here's a lovely video from the festival 🎉 https://t.co/G2npUzhaao #cplay19

[CounterPlay @CounterPlayFest]

@zoewi @witregatta @melindajacobs @natsteinmetz @joannavanb Haha, this sounds just wonderful! Thanks to Petra & @kennmunk for inventing this & to Laura for her unforgettable performance (& to the human slides, of course, where would we have been without them?)!

[Mathias Poulsen @mathiaspoulsen]

I love learning about the role of play in lives that are different to my own. Here's Lisa sharing her experience playing at @CounterPlayFest - balancing her narcolepsy & cataplexy.

[CounterPlay @CounterPlayFest]

@AntidoteLondon Thank you 😊 it was the amazing group of people that made all the difference - they just really, really wanted to play 🎉❤️ #cplay19

[The Fun Fed @thefunfedlondon]

@CounterPlayFest offered a rich mix of playful gems to excited and uplift in their recent play festival. Love what you're doing! #playmore

[CounterPlay @CounterPlayFest]

If you want to bring play into your everyday life, change public space & invite others to play, check out this lovely set of #oneplaything materials! Great work, @toadrick & @anantiq! #cplay19

[Lynn @toadrick]

@mathiaspoulsen @kiLearning @ipa_nireland @anantiq Sorry for the delay, all the materials & some info about #oneplaything are now available online so that you (& anyone else who'd like to) can put together your own kits. Let me know if there is anything we can do to help & we'd love to see what you do! https://t.co/eCLcXvc0bL
