When was the last time you allowed yourself to play? Without a plan, end goal, expectations, or self-imposed limitations? Without restricting your raw curiosity, urges, and aspirations?
Humans are hardwired to play!
Play teaches us to invent and innovate. It enables us to connect, create, and collaborate. Play can be a gateway to creative empowerment. But not just any type of play.
Creative play allows us to exercise our creative muscles, nurture our well-being, and become stronger on the playground of life.
Join the first Creative Play Day in the Emmaus Eindhoven garden to reconnect with your inner child and activate your unlimited creative power through open-ended creative activities, immersive experiences, empowering conversations, and unexpected surprises from the production team of the event.

Make meaningful connections, join interesting conversations, and engage with interdisciplinary and cross-cultural creators and experts with diverse superpowers.
Learn about and join meaningful initiatives, organizations, and causes.
Reconnect with your inner child through creative play of your choice.
