The Play Lab
In the quest of adulthood, language learning might feel like a chore.
Grinding through vocabulary lists, chasing efficiency hacks – we know the reasons we should study. But beneath the “shoulds” is a spark waiting, where learning a language becomes part of something bigger: the journey of living a life that feels like your own.
The Play Lab invites you to step away from blind efficiency and rediscover curiosity through play. In this workshop, we’ll explore tools that look like games – but work as powerful practices of self-discovery and mindset shift.
Through playful experiments – adopting characters, turning learning obstacles into metaphors, moving with what blocks you instead of against it – learning becomes less about chores, more about choice.
The Play Lab isn’t about motivation tricks. It’s about discovering a way of being where curiosity carries you forward, where even the daily chore feels vibrant because it is chosen.
Come if you’re ready – not as the efficient adult, but as the grownup who remembers how to play.
Date: Monday 20. October 2025
Location: LiLi Centre, Alpenquai 40A, 6005 Luzern
Time: 11:15-12:15
