Introduction
Everybody Can Play is a collaborative initiative between Kotte and Kulturrummet that aims to build stronger neighborhoods through accessible play sessions. The project offers seven public play sessions in Gothenburg, Helsingborg, and Växjö from May to July, 2025.
Each session features low-barrier, inclusive games like: tag, cooperative challenges, traditional playground games, and creative, movement-based activities. These sessions are designed to foster community bonding, physical activity, and social interaction. The activities require minimal equipment and are suitable for all ages and abilities.
Everybody Can Play aims to create stronger, more connected neighborhoods through inclusive play, reducing isolation and reclaiming public spaces. Our goal is to strengthen bonds through shared experiences, encourage active use of public areas, promote inclusivity for all ages and abilities, foster a culture of outdoor play, and increase community safety and belonging by activating public spaces.
Background
Residents in our cities often lack chances for outdoor play and social interaction. With "Everybody Can Play" public play sessions we bring neighbors together, encourage physical activity, and foster community bonds. Kotte's pilot event at Kulturnatta in Gothenburg showed high interest and engagement, proving demand for more sessions. This project brings unique activities to new areas, turning public spaces into vibrant hubs that foster connection and meet the need for accessible, communal experiences.
Status
This is an ongoing project and is estimated to be completed in July 2025. Updates and content from the project will be posted on our website and social media.
