Forget static lectures. Our training sessions are designed for educators, facilitators, and designers who want to experience the power of play firsthand, co-creating solutions alongside a vibrant community of peers.

Our training sessions are interactive and participatory. Here, our Playmakers are engaged in a group activity, sharing insights and learning from one another in a supportive, hands-on environment.

We believe in the power of community, and our training sessions often include parents who are experts in their fields. Here, a parent leads a workshop on using AI in education, bringing new perspectives to our team.

After two long years, we were thrilled to be back for in-person training days. Here is our amazing team of dedicated educators, or Playmakers, ready to bring another year of joyful childhoods to life.

We practice what we preach. Our training days always include time for our team to play, connect, and recharge together, like this fun evening of bowling. A happy team fosters a happy learning environment.

About Hands-On Workshops for Educators

Our training is not about sitting through a presentation. We work in collaborative circles where you might be building math tools from recycled materials one moment and discussing emotional regulation the next. You will walk away with tangible, low-cost ways to turn your classroom environment into an active, engaging participant in your students' learning.

I am Helen, and at Papagoya, we believe that education needs a shake-up. My team of Playmakers and I design these sessions to be messy, honest, and deeply practical because we know that teachers need to feel that same spark of curiosity they hope to ignite in their students.
