Playful Paths – Resource Guide

Finally it is here – the guide for trainers, counsellors, coaches supporting women!

About the project:

The goal of this project is to strengthen the agency of women, who are reentering the labour force after years of being stay-home mothers.


While we cannot change the systemic failures and problems of the labour market, by strengthening women’s control about their career and personal goals and personal competencies, as well as assist them in finding a better approach to work-balance harmony, we would like to empower them for a more conscious career planning.


There are already available methodologies developed for other fields of career and life coaching, which can be adapted to this target group: these are symbolwork, folk tale work (“meseterápia”), and also playwork, all of which will be described in the following chapters.

PAPPUS – Plants and Play Promoting Universal Skills

PAPPUS – Plants and Play Promoting Universal Skills

Plants and Play Promoting Universal Skills (PAPPUS) is a three-year project within the EU Erasmus+ program. PAPPUS is aimed at young disadvantaged people and provides them with a playful ‘Learning springboards’ using common plants as context, resource and inspiration for learning. The aim is to counteract the decreasing contact of young people with nature and to use the recognized advantages of a playful approach to plants in our natural environment. Immersing oneself in the world of nature is essential for the emotional and mental well-being of children and is also beneficial for their physical health.

Pappus (Greek πάππος pappos) is the modified calyx, the part of an individual floret, that surrounds the base of the corolla tube in flower heads of the plant family Asteraceae.

definition from wikipedia

PAPPUS offers teachers, recreational educators and families starting points for high-quality learning and playing inspired by the local flora.

Following national thematic assessments in the five participating European countries and a joint study excursion to Great Britain, we are developing various educational resources (toolkits) in the project, which are tested extensively. The result is a curriculum for an online train-the-trainer course for teachers and others who work with young people. The online trainings will be held in all partner countries, evaluated and presented and distributed in final national workshops (multiplier events).

PAPPUS aims to support disadvantaged young people in their development opportunities and thus combat social exclusion and, subsequently, identify career opportunities in the field of plants and nature.

CAPS – Children’s Access to Play in Schools

CAPS – Children’s Access to Play in Schools

Children’s Access to Play in Schools (CAPS) is a three-year project within the EU Erasmus+ program.
The aim of the CAPS project is to create time, space and support for free play in schools.
Based on the British PLAYWORK tradition, quality criteria and awards for “Playmaker-friendly schools” are being developed, as well as a training program for all school staff.

Why should schools become ” play-friendly”?
Current research shows that playing has a positive effects on physical and emotional health, well-being, learning behavior and enjoying school. Projects that encourage and support children’s self-chosen play at school bring benefits to children, schools, communities and society as a whole.

As a result of our dissemination activities, we would also like to establish an European network of “playwork professionals” whose mission is to “support all children and young people in creating spaces where they can play” (“Playwork Principles”).
