Playworking Auntie: Little People
Last year was a busy year. Not only was I buzzing around the world with Morgan, but I was also preparing my heart to have an upgrade in status: I was no longer in the youngest generation within my family. Yes, 2015 was the year that I became an auntie to two adorable...
GUEST WRITER: Pop-Ups with A Lion and A Mouse
By Margaret of The Lion and The Mouse Margaret and her team first approached us in April 2015 to run their own independent Pop-Ups by registering with us. Since then, two of their staff have joined our Playworker Development Course and they have been running Pop-Ups...
Happy New Pop-Up Year!
Happy New Year! We all have our favourite holidays. This one is mine - well, tied with my birthday, of course! It’s a little cheesy to say that this is a time of reflection. A chance to consider the year ending and make renewed commitments to the one opening before...
A 60,000 Mile Year
Our 2015 was a big Pop-Up year. Even before the year draws to a close, the action doesn't stop! I am sitting at my desk having just recovered from a 36-hour power outage as a result of local floods. That alone seems to set the tone for our year of adventure! What else...
GUEST WRITER: Our Hong Kong Stop
When Pop-Ups friend Louise found out that we were going to Hong Kong as part of our #PopUpsWorldTour2015, she got in touch immediately to ask us where we would be. She came to have lunch with us before our Saturday Pop-Up and stuck around to see all the action. Here...
Pop-Ups On Tour 2015 – Highlights
By Zan Since arriving back in the UK, things have been go go go. Morgan and I are both working towards a PhD in Playwork. But sadly, being on the road does not often lend itself to the most ideal study environment. So we've been studying hard in the last couple of...
Pop-Ups On Tour 2015: The End of the World Tour
We are standing in a circle, facing a fire in the perishing cold. My face is hot and dry while sleet seeps through ill-considered jeans and trickles into my shoes. So it is for our End of the World Tour. On a hill, with a steel slide to one side and a view of brick...
Pop-Ups On Tour 2015 – Hong Kong
Reaching the 6th country on this epic world tour felt a little bit like going home. I had somehow forgotten that simply going to "see my family" in Hong Kong also meant that 8 people would come and pick us up at the airport, and that tiny cousins would invite...
Pop-Ups On Tour 2015: Singapore
By Morgan Time on the road goes faster than in other places, and our stories are running a little bit behind, but here they are for you now. We were in Singapore for only 6 days, delivering one full-day workshop and 4 pop-ups. The first 3 were in partnership with...
Pop-Ups On Tour 2015 – Playworkers Gotta Play
At every workshop, we ask participants a question that almost always stumps them: how do you play? There's always an awkward pause. No one makes eye contact and the whole room seems to think. Is it really that difficult to answer that question? To us, it seems...
