The fastest way adults make new friends isn’t networking. It’s play. But somehow as adults, the majority of us lose our connection to play. Only 30% of us engage in communities around a shared joy, practice or hobby. But a movement is growing to embrace play. In this webinar you will meet some of the people leading it. Jill Vialet, Eric Winters, and Lakshmi Narayanee will explore a national study on Communities of Play and a framework for investing in this critical point of connection in our community.
What they’ll cover:
• Results of national study on the state of play in America
• The case for play and why it is critical as adults
• How thousands of leaders are building communities of play and what they need to thrive
• A few tips on how to bring play into your own life
