Education in Pink # 4: Body. To learn. To play.
We reflect with our two guests what connects the body, learning and playing and talk about shame, social power relations and how these are reflected in our body. We say: “Failure cheerful” and talk about “making mistakes” and the chance to be able to make new decisions again and again. We think playfully about changes and throw different perspectives on the opportunities and limits of resistance.
