Expand What's Possible in the Classroom

What We Offer for Universities
Flexible ways to bring playful placemaking into your curriculum.
Student Workshops
Hands-on experience in community engagement and placemaking through immersive workshops. In-person workshops (preferred) engage students directly with PLAYCE tools and methods; Zoom workshops offer a flexible, accessible option that still delivers valuable insights and skills.
Guest Lectures
Inspire and inform your students with expert guest lectures on topics like playful placemaking, community engagement strategies, and the power of design to create change.
Adjunct Professorships
Collaborate with PLAYCE Studio to offer studio courses or other curriculum-aligned courses. Our team works alongside your faculty to create an immersive learning experience, blending theory with practical application.
What Students Are Saying
"I have felt more empowered in this course than any school course I have ever taken. There's something special about how easy it is while being so impactful. I wish all university courses felt this empowering."
"I feel more confident facilitating community engagement in an ethical and engaging way. Learning the PLAYCE method has helped me build on skills I already had, adapt to different situations, and turn community engagement into meaningful outcomes. It’s easier than you might think!"
"Stepping into someone else’s shoes instead of just talking about them made me feel like I was actually experiencing their life. It helped me think more deeply about people of different ages and backgrounds, and how they experience and interact with the places around them."
