Project description

We are working with three groups of student participants who study social work at Coburg's university. Each group is exploring opportunities for inter-active engagement with three cultural institutions in the city of Coburg:​

NOTE

The workshop title is in reference to Homo Ludens, a book written in 1938 by Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga. It discusses the importance of the play element of culture and society. Huizinga suggests that play is primary to and a necessary (though not sufficient) condition of the generation of culture. The Latin word Ludens is the present active participle of the verb ludere which itself is cognate with the noun ludus. Ludus has no direct equivalent in English, as it simultaneously refers to sport, play, school, and practice.[2]. See more at Wikipedia.
