SUMMARY:72 Hour Urban Action 2019
DESCRIPTION:From the website: \n72 Hour Urban Action is the world’s first real-time architectural competition where international teams design\, build\, sleep and party together to generate public interventions in a limited space within a short time and on a tight budget. \nIt is a tool for resetting our perceptions of public space. This tool\, taking the form of a design festival\, has been intervening in different communities since 2010\, working hands-on with local partners from the bottom up. \n72HUA exposes local issues and offers alternative ideas quickly by bringing experts and amateurs to work in microsites – those neglected pockets of urban space full of potential that are too small to officially develop but are too big for residents to ignore. \nThe festival team has been conducting research and hosting workshops with partners in Jena-Lobeda since 2018\, setting up a network of local organizations and looking closely at the use of public spaces in the district. These actors help us understand and know Lobeda from within\, map and collect the wishes and needs of the district and prepare the ground for the international teams to come and work on site. Ten sites are selected and analyzed through this collective process and ten missions set the challenges for the teams to respond to. The missions are decided by luck. No one knows which team gets which site until we start the clock. \nWebsite: https://www.72stundenlobeda.de \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/72hua

SUMMARY:Global Game Jam 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world’s largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world\, we could come together\, be creative\, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games\, while at the same time exploring the process of development\, be it programming\, iterative design\, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity. \nLocations: More than 100 countries.

SUMMARY:Black Box CPH VIII
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to BlackBox Cph – a festival for experimental role play at the centre of Copenhagen. \nAt Blackbox Cph you can choose between a number of larps of about 3-4 hours’ duration. The larps will apply theatrical lighting and sound for controlling the play and several of them will be experimenting with other theatrical techniques. This creates a unique form of role play that has come to be known as black box role play. \nThe larps for Blackbox Cph are designed to be plug-and-play. This means that the demands for you as a player are at a minimum. To play you just have to sign up\, and when you come to the larp remember to bring a basic costume\, which consists of a pair of black socks\, black pants\, and a black t-shirt. \nThe designers of the larps will take care of all additional preparation. The designers have total power over their larps\, they will be in charge of plots\, roles\, workshop\, instructions\, as well as controlling theatrical lights and sound\, with a little help from us. \nAs a player all you have to do is be ready to follow instructions and give it your all when the spotlight hits you. \nBlackbox Cph is organized by Gnist in cooperation with HusetKBH and TeaterHuset. \nWebsite: http://blackbox-cph.dk/?page_id=10&lang=en \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/blackboxcph/

SUMMARY:The Overkill 2018
DESCRIPTION:The Overkill is a 48 hours nonstop festival which regroups an art exhibition\, a selection of indie games\, an alternative movie program\, live performance and many activities such as workshops\, master class\, talks… all selected around our theme and presented together in an original and immersive setting. \nThe Overkill is an open platform\, a flexible space for creative minds to meet and an intense time to share thoughts and experience.

Playing is the core element of our event\, we believe game is a source of socializing\, a diplomatic tool\, a stress releaser\, a way to learn or master things and an amazing way to spend our time!  Our visitors are invited to participate\, try out\, watch debate and create\, transforming the festival and his experience. It is our intention to present art and artists in a playful way\, looking for new and real encounters. It is also our intention to use a popular tool (video games) and make our public more aware of its content\, its power and its artistic manipulations.

SUMMARY:PLAYRAUM: Urban Gaming Festival 2018
DESCRIPTION:Quoted from the website (in Dutch) \n\nWie wil het niet: voor één dag Super Mario zijn. Tijdens festival PLAYRAUM op zondag 12 augustus heb je spreekwoordelijk zijn bekende rode pet op en zie je de stad vanuit een nieuw perspectief. Kom langs en game mee: van pratende lantaarnpalen tot hardloopparcours! \n\n\nDe games die je kunt doen tijdens PLAYRAUM laten je spelenderwijs de ruimtelijke omgeving en de mensen daarin ontdekken en bekijken. Een dag lang toveren we onze omgeving om tot een wereld waarin fantasie en realiteit niet meer van elkaar zijn te onderscheiden. \nPLAYRAUM bestaat uit een festivalprogramma van collectieve en individuele games die zich afspelen in de stad. Een urban gaming festival dus: pratende lantaarnpalen\, chatbot-performances\, een hardloopparcours door kunstwerken en gebouwen\, een live-action-role-tutorial (LART)\, augmented reality games\, een Pokémon Go Meetup en Ingress expedities. Niets is te gek. \nBen je niet zo’n spelfreak? Alles is beginner-proof. Je kunt trouwens ook gewoon komen hangen in ons festivalhart. We zorgen voor eten\, drinken en muziek; de ideale setting om fanatieke spelers te aanschouwen. \nBlijf je thuis deze zomer? Geen excuus. We zien je graag in Lorinna del Sol (Leidsche Rijn Centrum).

SUMMARY:Pro Juventute Play Festival 2018
DESCRIPTION:Play Conference «Playable Cities» & Pop up Play Action \n\n\n\n\nHow can public urban areas be organised to improve play for children and adults? Can play be used in the public domain as a catalyst for urban development? How can play instigate participative processes of appropriation? How can playgrounds become spaces for the live culture of play and encounter? Can playgrounds also be challenging and playable for adults? \nPlay is rarely actively promoted in urban areas and is even more rarely integrated into the actual urban plan- ning process. Yet play offers a wide range of resources\, methods\, processes of appropriation and atmospheric potential for change so as to radically improve cities. The Pro Juventute Play Festival 2018 should support the development of cities of play and further develop discus- sion of the role of play in urban development processes. The Play Festival 2018 is composed of a conference on the topic of «Playable Cities» and a Play Event for World Play Day 2018 whereby the right to play is celebrated at an international level.
