Play at the End of a World Abstract: What is, and what could be the role of playing in the current and future worlds shaped by the climate and energy crisis? In this talk, I analyze the role of play during the climate catastrophe, and will imagine what type of play we will need when this world ends and others substitute it. See you there!

On November 18th, Miguel Sicart, from the Section of Play, Culture and AI, will present some thoughts on play in the climate crisis. Join us for an interesting discussion, and bring your own thoughts and experiences!
