The Art of Adapting: A Workshop to Play, Collaborate & Learn

🤔 AI is changing how we work, learn, and collaborate. New opportunities are emerging, but so are new questions: How do we adapt? What should we change? And how do we decide what comes next?

Join Simona Bonghez and Dan Suciu from Colors in Projects for an interactive workshop where learning happens through play, teamwork, and shared experiences.

💭 The games will take us through clarifying where change can actually start from, setting short-term goals, identifying our strengths and understanding that we don’t always have control on how things work out in the end.

You'll work in teams, take on fun challenges, exchange ideas, and explore how different perspectives can help us navigate change, make better decisions, and discover new opportunities.

No long presentations, just interactive activities, teamwork, meaningful conversations, and plenty of fun! 😊

Come ready to play, connect, and get involved. Sitting on the sidelines? Not an option! 😅
