sylvesterarnab.comFrom Play to Practice: Rethinking Project Management through Playful LearningAs part of the ESRC-Funded RE:PLAY Project, we recently piloted a playful learning approach to project management within an engineering module at Coventry University. Working collaboratively with RE:PLAY Fellow Neil O'Shea and RE:PLAY Design Fellows Safaa Sindi and Tamar Maclellan, this session explored how hands-on, scenario-driven activities can support students in developing project management thinking in more engaging and applied ways.

Today I am living the glamorous life of an academic, sounding impressive in small doses of speaking about ideas but with most of my time devoted to completing forms and swearing at my computer

Well the essays have come in and it’s time to start assessing what students have written about #ethics, inequality, #sustainability and #business. So far, I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised! They have read scholarly things!

You know what I love about games? #Fairness. It’s so British to take turns, like queuing. With kids you have to be caring to start with though, and spend time supporting their capabilities to enable them to play fairly as grown ups! #bluey

Home from a fun #playlearn25 with masks, crime scenes, recipes, magic and improv. Most crucially so many opportunities to connect with other playful learning people! Whimsical, intellectual or light-hearted, it’s all an aid to stimulating ideas 😊

Starmer’s proposals to reform disability welfare support are narrated in ways that recognise the #dignityofwork, however this is expressly focused on work as #employment. I expect the push will be for employers to bear more of the costs of #care for employees with disabilities. (1/2)

The moral case for employers’ care for their workers is strong, but the political move explicitly characterises disabled persons as costs, either to employers or the state. This fails to acknowledge the dignity of persons as part of a society whose worth does not only lie in employment and GDP.

Taking #IWD as an opportunity to say - worker #dignity is not just about basic respect for rights, it’s about enabling global #autonomy; real meaningful options for workers in choosing their futures. This may mean providing workers with different support while also tackling systematic inequities

I have never really been about fan fiction, but having read Ann Christy’s awesome work about Silo 49 from the world of Hugh Howey’s Wool, I’d love to see novellas about ‘minor’ characters in the worlds of popular fantasy novels #BookSky
