PLAYMINDS WORKSHOPs & COURSES
Creative thinking is not for artists only. It’s a way of living for curious people. If you are looking for new, refreshing ways to front everyday challenges, small and big, join PlayMinds to learn how to broaden your creative horizon and think in possibilities!
WHY
Our brain always looks for the most energy-efficient way to do things. Once it learns how to arrive at a solution, it always repeats the same process. That is how you manage to get home while thinking about other things. It is incredibly efficient to keep doing things the same old way. But to find ideas, you need to leave your routine behind!
WHAT
This workshop series is not about making something. Instead, you will learn how to think differently. Discover the kind of thinking that leads to original solutions, innovative ideas and creative projects.
HOW
You will be guided in a specific approach to stimulate your creativity in every session. You will discover and apply different techniques with the help of a range of fun exercises.

THIS IS ME
I am an Italian Amsterdam-based contemporary art curator, creative producer and creative thinking mentor
I believe high performance and laughing go perfectly together; that learning by playing is the only way to learn, and that creativity will, in the end, change the world into a much better place.
My method is a combination of many others, standing on the shoulders of decennia of work and knowledge.
My approach is highly structured, soothingly leading to a (or several) results.
You’ll explore, experiment and learn by having fun.
Let’s start now!
SUCCESS
STORIES
I loved it!
It was a good mix of theory/information and doing. Because you told us about the research findings, it becomes more than just some creativity exercises. Really helpful.
The exercises are short, but not too short. You have to start right away, and that makes it very active. No time to overthink. Which feels good. You create a safe space for us to do this.
Intensive, but not too much, it is in balance.

I had a lovely afternoon with like-minded people.
The topic was fascinating.
The workshop is also great for people who think they could be more creative (like me).
The exercises were simple but playful, and the whole thing was very relaxing.

I loved it so much, Alessandra! Everything! The content, your professionalism, the space, the people.
Just a big chunk of smile and fun!
I loved how you made it happen: a nice warm-up, funny and challenging exercises, and a combination of solo work and teamwork.
How you ended up, with some reflection and introspection. It was inspiring: I felt connected with my heart and with others.
I can’t wait to go on!
