North American Simulation & Gaming Association (NASAGA) Conference
Pauline Lynch Shostack
Energy, from the Greek en- (within) and -ergon (work), is defined as the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. Energized people are engaged, propelled to move forward, more creative, and infectious in their positive emotions!
At NASAGA, we strongly believe that play is a portal to energy. Play adds joy to life, relieves stress, reinforces the connection to the community, boosts learning and develops skills.
While play could look like simple goofing off with friends, successful games and simulations are designed and facilitated with strong connections to meaning, mood, means and momentum. Those strategies help better energize the participants to further reach development and performance objectives.
This year, NASAGA’S conference is taking place in the vibrant city of Montreal and promises to connect you with insights, ideas and strategies for playful learning!
