GAMES & FUN MEET ART & POETRY

The Playandvision project forwards ideas that explore the pursuit of the Epicurean definition of happiness.

Play stands for recreation and fun, as well as for performing music/ theater. Vision stands for visual arts and visionary ideas.

PlayandVision, wishes to contribute to social change with projects that explore and promote happiness in togetherness. Under the motto “From “I” to “we” ” we are challenged to find the answer to the ancient question “what makes our lives happy?”

People together, of any age or nationality, interacting, having fun, connecting through creativity. Our purpose is, to filter / enlarge the Ego of each of us in a cheerful creative WE. In order for this to happen, we believe diversity and multiculturalism are necessary conditions.

What can we do to feel connected with others and nature, to be willing to share and exchange, to not be afraid, to train kindness and openness, to have more of what triggers good thoughts? 

With playandvision we hope to find the answers together.
