Play ! The right place at the right time! The experience was wonderful and I learned a lot. The meditation techniques were just great. And we experienced the notions of creativity and collective intelligence throughout the training. Finally, the informal time spent together also helped to create a strong cohesion within the group.

PLAY has given me a lot to learn about how to manage my team (methods, means, theory and practice). I strongly recommend this training to any entrepreneur or intrapreneur. Moreover, the Campus-AFD has an excellent atmosphere: thank you for the welcome and the excellent organization!

If everyone has a creative potential within them, PLAY helps us to discover it and bring it out. I come away with a rich toolbox of new ideas to foster innovation, collective intelligence and creativity in my daily life (both professional and personal).

PLAY carries a strong message: collective work can free up creative energies, to design and build innovative projects adapted to the change of civilization we are now experiencing. The Play workshop is a chance to take a break tolearn differently and reconnect with all the qualities and skills we already have within us to be actors of change. PLAY reminds us to trust the infinite potential of human beings to build a new viable system.

With PLAY, I have a new vision of myself, my potential and my limits. With a reserved naturalness, I am now able to prepare and present an effective pitch; and to grow a project that everyone can adhere to. The PLAY workshop far exceeded my expectations.

PLAY is a workshop with original and innovative content, combining human and management skills with a result that marks the experience of the participants, who are elevated to the rank of actors in the conduct of the activities of this workshop and this, thanks to the quality of the animation and scheduling of the themes.

PLAY is not a training course, it's a unique immersive experience! With its serious games and mindfulness activities, PLAY is an atypical format that accelerates your creativity in one week while recharging your batteries: amazing!

A very beautiful collective experience of meeting oneself and others... A side step from which we come back full of positive energy to share, animation techniques to stimulate creativity and the desire to move the lines... in all serenity.

At the end of this workshop, I feel transformed, wiser and more agile. I wish to continue to dig deeper into the topics studied in PLAY to have an ever more positive impact on my community through the use of collective intelligence. Thank you to the AFD and the PLAY team for offering us this beautiful human adventure during these 4 great days.

I was impressed by the power of collective intelligence during PLAY. The contents of the training are all useful; but I also particularly appreciated the quality of the trainers before, after and during the training (which requires a lot of work behind the scenes), as well as the quality of the shared trainig materials. Thank you again for the really inspiring training and facilitation!

A gift to oneself, for oneself, thanks to all the contributions of the workshop. And a real gift from the facilitators and the AFD Campus with their involvement, their generosity, the originality of their approaches, the relevance of the topics covered and the many tools, documents, books and references shared and offered. A great formula, rich and intense!

In my opinion, PLAY is not a training, but a rich and powerful "experience", an experimentation in different human aspects that complement each other. It has profoundly transformed me and given me the desire and courage to act as an agent of change.
