In this episode we talked about how the city of Örebro is rethinking traditional playground design and purpose maximizing by combining play value with eco-system services. The journey from “thematic playgrounds” to “play biotopes” was of course highlighted. It was a conversation full of reflections on their amazing explorations and discussions how their approach resonates with the concept of physical literacy.

Mimmi Beckman, planner at Örebro municipality shared a lot of valuable insights and learnings.

Change the Game is a knowledge center that contributes to sustainable social development by creating and spreading knowledge about how to focus on the quality of movement experiences when developing places, programs and people.

The Foundation for Physical literacy, which runs Change the Game, is a non-profit foundation that together with other actors – such as regions, authorities, associations, the company, researchers and thought leaders – creates movement for movement. This is done through collaboration projects, advocacy and through Change the Game Utbildning AB, which through training, consultation and events ensures that knowledge is spread to more actors who are prepared to act based on the holistic view of the human being as physical literacy stands for.
