Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the positive feedback!
You hit the nail on the head about getting different results in different places. Then I have the idea that the games will become a playful way for people to share imaginative visions of place that are informed by the local experience- a way to generate diversity (an antidote to singular profit-driven worlds).
It's early days yet but this Summer we are creating two new sets of games in two different places. We are thinking of ways to incorporate different kinds of place data too.
Anyway, I think that P2PF would be an excellent partner.
The ECF are interested in cross-sectoral collaboration - and the P2PF is comprised of people from so many different disciplines and traditions. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to be able to draw on different kinds of expertise and critical friendship as we develop our project within the P2P ethos.

Hey All,
I took a quick look. It's a nice project. Ruth I really like what you
are doing. I think games are a great tool for re-imagining how we relate
and co-create in our communites. They are also transferable. You can use
the same games and get different results in different places.
P2PF could apply but this project requires a local community element.
Maybe we can partner and support existing projects.

Dear all,
I wanted to let you know that the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has
just launched an open call as part of our current strategic focus
"Connecting Culture, Communities and Democracy”.
I thought you, your colleagues or your network may be interested by this
call for innovative ideas for cross-sectorial collaboration that engages
Europeans in re-defining and shaping “public space”. 50 selected ideas will
be presented at an Idea Camp in 23-25 October in Marseille, following that
event, 25 will be selected to receive R&D grants up to €10K. The deadline
to submit applications is 15 July.
The call is open to individuals, collectives or organisations working in
the arts and cultural sector as well as in other fields and sectors of
society including academic & educational, environmental, trade & industry,
health & social care, human rights etc. Applicants can represent the
private, public or social sector, and they should be based or active in
wider Europe.
For further details and to apply, please read the call:
http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/idea-camp/
Do share the call within your networks and friends.
In order to raise awareness about the open call and gather views on the
theme of public space, we have launched an online campaign. Anyone can
participate through their usual online channels, simply by tagging their
contributions as #PublicSpaceis. Check
http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/public-space-is for further information.
Thanking you in advance.
Best regards,
Juan
