ACTionism

25 Jun 2025 — 1 min read

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Emma Bearman, founder of Playful Anywhere, a Leeds-based Community Interest Company working with communities to transform their relationship with place and space.

Emma describes play as a "Trojan horse" - a powerful tool that opens up deeper conversations about how communities connect with their environments. Through her work, she demonstrates how playful interventions can unlock new possibilities for community engagement and place-making.

In this spotlight call, we'll explore:

Emma's journey setting up Playful Anywhere as a CIC
How play becomes a catalyst for meaningful community conversations
Practical, play-based approaches you can try in your own places and spaces
The transformative potential of playful community engagement

Whether you're curious about creative approaches to local engagement, working in community development, or passionate about place-making, this session will provide both inspiration and practical tools to take away.

Come ready to think differently about how we connect with our communities and spaces - and perhaps discover the playful ACTionist within!
