Our values

Values are very important to us. They are what make #play14 what it is. Please, make sure you take a look at our manifesto and our code of conduct before you register to one of our events.

Many thanks to Nina Neef for the wonderful images.

Manifesto

  • open to all people or communities with an interest on learning with fun
  • focused ongames & activities in the physical world more than in the virtual world
  • an unconference based on the Open Space Technology
  • non profit, which means that when we do make a profit on a given event, we reinvest everything into the next

code of conduct

Boy/Girl scout rule

There is a saying among the scouts.
Always leave the campground cleaner than you found it.

Be mindful of other people well being by cleaning after yourself when you leave a space. That goes for the space you played on, the space you ate on, the space you rested on, etc.

Remember that the hosting team is not there to clean after you, but are also participants of the event. They also want to facilitate and attend sessions, as much as you do.
