Solution-Focused Playgrounds: Where Collaboration and Learning Meet - SOLTalk
Pamela King

Room: Predikherenkerk - Fri. 4:30-5:00 pm

Content

Play is often associated with children, but it holds immense value in the context of adult learning as well. This interactive plenary will explore the concept of purposeful play—how it stimulates brain activity, enhances engagement, and promotes deeper learning across all age groups. We will explore the concept of Solution Play, an innovative approach that combines the core principles of Solution-Focused Practice with experiential learning. The use of play or playful activities in teaching, coaching, or therapy is most effective when it is more than a frivolous addition or something to merely “warm-up” the team. Participants will experience how play can be an effective tool for teaching solution-focused principles, fostering collaborative learning, and guiding individuals and teams toward discovering and constructing their preferred futures. Solution Play not only enhances engagement but also empowers individuals and teams to focus on strengths, build future possibilities, and work together toward creating meaningful outcomes. Participants will leave with ideas for incorporating playful, solution-focused methods into their own practices, enhancing both individual and collective growth.

Take aways:

  • Leave with practical tools to integrate Solution Play into education, coaching, counseling, and organizational development.

  • Discover how play can be a transformative medium for teaching and practicing solution-focused methods in both individual and group settings.

  • Explore how purposeful play impacts brain function, creativity, problem-solving, and learning retention for adults.
