Give people a reason to connect, play and explore together.
Playful, interactive workshops and experiences for communities, clubs, festivals, retreats and meetups. Designed to spark curiosity, help people discover each other and create opportunities to experience something together.
Being in the same place isn't the same as feeling connected.
People can share a studio, a running route, a festival field, they can attend the same events, can visit the same space every week without ever really getting to know one another.
Doing something together doesn’t automatically connect people. Sometimes, all it takes is a different opportunity to interact.
reconnect playground designs thoughtfully designed sessions which can help turn a gathering into something people actively take part in, making room for unexpected conversations, new perspectives and moments worth remembering.
A different way to bring people together: play!
Play isn't just for entertainment. It can open up ways of interacting that everyday routines don't always leave room for.
Through lighthearted activities, creative challenges and guided conversations, people meet beyond their usual circles, discover unexpected common ground and experience one another in a different light.
No forced networking. No pressure to perform. Just thoughtfully designed opportunities to take part, be curious and see where an interaction leads.
Designed for the people who make a place.
Clubs & communities
Bring people closer through shared experiences that help newcomers find their place and familiar faces get to know each other differently.
Meetups & shared spaces
Give people new ways to interact, move beyond familiar groups and strengthen the community around a shared interest.
Festivals
Add interactive workshops and playful experiences to your programme, giving participants a chance to connect, experiment and explore a theme together.
Retreats
Help participants get to know one another, explore ideas and build a sense of connection beyond the scheduled sessions.
Every gathering is different.
The experience should be too.
The experience should fit the people, the place and what you want to make possible.
It might be a one-off workshop, an activity woven into a festival programme or a recurring experience that gives a community new ways to interact over time.
The design might draw on playful challenges, creative activities, movement or guided conversations. The activities are shaped around the context, no fixed packages or one-size-fits-all approach.
Hi, I’m Mihaela.
I'm an Experience Designer & Facilitator and the person behind reconnect playground.
Before starting the studio, I spent over eight years working in corporate strategy and project management, in international tech environments. Today I combine that organizational experience with experience design and facilitation to create more interactive ways for people to learn, communicate and work together.
I'm interested in what happens when people don't just hear about something, but actually get to experience it.
