Let's Play! Making Engagement Way More Fun

Orton Family Foundation

No one loves typical public meetings where the only opportunity for interaction is a quick and dirty two minutes at the microphone. What can we do to change that? It turns out there are dozens of ways to make community engagement more playful, and playfulness makes engagement more fruitful. On this CommunityMatters® conference call you’ll hear from James Rojas of Place It! and Chris Haller of Urban Interactive Studio. They challenge the notion that public discourse and decision-making can’t be fun. Listen to this call to learn how to infuse civic life with play. Please bear with the sound quality issues during James' introduction. They clear up around minute 10. Access online notes at http://bit.ly/1fOp2dh.
