Wisdom of Play

Listening to a full day of short talks from interesting people is only the first step. Ideas worth sharing demand action, too. To that end, a small group of 70 people will participate in an afternoon workshop on May 15 to process what we heard the day before and come up with a plan to do something with that new wisdom.

Hosted at SproutBox studio in downtown Bloomington, “Playing With Wisdom” is an unconference discussion. That is, we will begin with the TEDx Bloomington theme—the Wisdom of Play—and self-organize into small groups to discuss different aspects of what was shared on Saturday. This format has proven to be a way to ensure every conversation includes people passionate about that particular topic. The goal of an unconference is to turn insights into actionable task items that can live on beyond that afternoon. We will make use of technology to document our discussions and create living documents on our topics of interest.
