Why play is the secret antidote to activist burnout
In short: When the weight of social change feels heavy, how do you find the energy to keep going? Yana Buhrer Tavanier explores why injecting creativity and play into movements can be a vital tool for recovery.
The video introduces "playtivism," a strategy that integrates play and creativity into movements for social change. Rather than viewing play as a distraction, Tavanier presents it as a versatile approach to activism that can spark new ideas and propel collective action.
By embracing these creative methods, activists can effectively melt fear and recover from burnout. The talk provides a framework for shifting from exhaustion to renewed momentum by reimagining how we engage with the world's most pressing issues.
