Event Architecture
- Can you see yourself planning a small, medium or large event – whatever fits your capacities and intentions?
- Can you co-create this week with us, the Organizers from the world?
- If you started imagining, here are some thoughts to consider:
What is SDE Week
- The SDE week, 23 – 29 September 2024, is an umbrella event coordinated by group of organisators; any organization, school, institution, company or informal group can organize an online, in-person or blended event for babies, children, youth, young adults, adults and/or professionals.
- No one is charging or paying anyone.
- Creating and joining an event should be free of charge. We know that different resources will be used in the process, but we can reach many people, and have a big impact with the support of each organizer and their efforts.
- All the events created in the SDE week will appear on the map of the event, here, on the website, along with a general description of each event.
- Each person interested in joining an event can use the search form to find an event for a specific target group/ topic/ day or location.
- It is the responsibility of each organizer to determine how a person can join an event, as well as the planning and the management of each event.
- We provides support in planning (through different support calls) and contributes to the promotion of the events and to the dissemination and follow-up activities, and providing a visual identity and branding pack to all the accepted events.
“Imagine a gateway to a world where free play is seen as a human developmental need. Where therefore all people learn through free play. Where play, work and learning have equal meaning. The way people are educated is the key to this gate. Fortunately, everyone in the world has the keys in their hands.”
