Useful and playful ideas to fill this period while locked at home.
The cities of the Playful Paradigm network are taking action to provide their communities with useful - and playful - ideas against the sense of isolation this Covid-19 period is spreading.
Each country probably has a different concept of what is educational, entertaining or healthy. Well, it’s a good time to get to know each other better and discover what do the other people around Europe do during their forced spare time.
