Playful Paradigm | URBACT Transfer Network - games for inclusive, healthy and sustainable cities
“Playful Paradigm” is one of the 25 transfer networks funded by URBACT, the European Territorial Cooperation programme aiming to foster sustainable integrated urban development in cities across Europe. “Playful Paradigm” aims to adapt and reuse the good practice of “games for promoting inclusion, health and sustainability” in other 7 European cities: Cork (IE), Esplugues de Llobregat (ES), Katowice (PL), Klaipeda (LT), Larissa (EL), Novigrad (HR) and Viana de Castelo (PT). We will be glad to update you (approximately each three months) about our network work and about games topics. If you’re not in our list yet, SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER

In February 2020, the City of Larissa (Greece) hosted LAComicsFestival Vol.2 – a week of playful energy for games and arts lovers.
For the second consecutive year, LAComicsFestival, co-organized by the Culture and Sciences Municipality of Larissa, returned with renewed enthusiasm, bringing along unique original exhibitions, seminars and workshops held by experienced comics artists.

The situation around Covid19 affected one of our partner cities’ most loved festival: due from 29 March to 5 April, it is now postponed. Our support goes to the city of Cork (Ireland) and to all the organisers of the Lifelong Learning Festival.
Born in 2004, the festival wants to raise awareness of all the kind of learning options the city offers, through a range of free events in multiple venues. We hope it can be rescheduled soon!
