Description

This session played with how we might translate the experiential conference workshop to the workplace. The kids playdate was introduced as an analogous situation for exploring how designers might learn from other designers, intentionally emphasising how the learning exchange would embody the value of reciprocity and the principles of participatory prototyping. What a parent might call sharing and playing nicely with friends. Playdate principles created a space for collective experiencing and proposed how the learning encounter may serve us as life-long learners. Distinct from the one-sided dry run of a workshop or the passive case study presentation, the playdate invited guests to show up with their expertise, hard won wisdom, and independent curiosity so we might learn together.
