Playing with the mysteries ΕΛΕVΣΙΣ 2023
2023 | Elesfina, Greece.
Together with the European School of Urban Game Design and Trust in Play, we developed a pop-up summer school to explore and create new ways of playing in public spaces. We provided mentorship and development support to over 30 emerging creatives worldwide to design and present a dozen urban games in a street event as part of the cultural program 2023 Eleusis, the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) in Greece.
Through mentorship, participants created a dozen folk games exploring different aspects of the city, its culture, and ancient history. This challenging and rewarding program brought together a diverse group to create real-world explorations of urban play while engaging with the local community. We pushed boundaries and embraced the spirit of play, even amidst heatwaves, wildfires, and unexpected plan changes.
