24 Jan Did You Know That Learning Can Be Fun?

Did you know that learning can be fun?

The below video is from a recent event called, Play2MeetPeople Networking. This is a series of community events to bring adults together to play and then network. The next event will be on February 19th, 2020.

Play is not only an enjoyable way to learn, but also assists in making the learning more memorable. Participants remember more about the way you make them feel during a learning experience, than what you said.

So why not give your team a memorable learning experience? Go ahead, bring in the juggler.

Creating connections in Calgary, Canada, Tony Esteves is a play-based facilitator, keynote speaker and performer. He studied at the Second City Improv Training Centre, has a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and has been performing with Le Cirque de la Nuit since 2014. He was a part of their 2016 TEDx performance, “The Creative Process.” In the circus, Tony dazzles, juggles and plays with audiences to create memorable experiences. 

He believes that people can move their lives and businesses forward by having more face-to-face conversations and therefore created the Talk2MorePeople Project. During this social experiment, Tony met at least one new stranger a day for an entire year, and through the people he met, transformed his life for the better. In total over 550 strangers came into his life that year. The Talk2MorePeople book teaches people how to make face-to-face connections and will be released in 2020. The online “How to Meet People Masterclass” is available now HERE.

Many of Tony’s connections came from the 40 countries that he has travelled to or worked in. In his free time, you can find Tony scrambling or snowboarding in the Canadian Rockies, studying a language or playing mini-Ping-Pong.
