One of the unique features of the PLoP™ series of conferences is the emphasis we place on non-technical, right-brain activities. We try to create an environment that exercises the parts of the mind and body that have nothing at all to do with developing software but have a lot to do with finding and writing patterns (whether they are software patterns or any other kind). Morning Games (in the Daily Kick-Off session) and Afternoon Games take place every day. Lead by our 'Querdenker-Koordinator', George Platts, these non-competitive games are one of the highlights of EuroPLoP. The games are intended to let us know each other, activatice the non-technical halfs ouf our brains, and build up a community of trust. Many new friendships have been founded whilst untying human knots or making a 5 metre high 'mushroom'! |
