Abstract

This paper discusses core principles such as play, collaboration and engagement that support the online workshops offered by the Global Play Brigade (GPB), an international community of activists in different areas, who got together to fight against the global crisis that threatened the world in so many ways due to the covid-19 pandemic. To exemplify part of the theoretical and methodological approach involved in the plan, the workshop itself and its goals, one of the sessions will be described along with perspectives aligned to Spinoza, Vygotsky, Freire and some other authors in order to understand how people can be affected towards social change. It is known that there are many facets to the current turmoil, so the GPB seeks to create spaces in which creativity and critical thinking can enable possibilities for emotional support, development, hope and action.
