During the Christmas period, we offer manual workshops and free games for all children from 4 years old every Sunday in December before Christmas.
In addition to the workshops, I become a playful elf by volunteering play time with children in Vaucluse, Drôme and Gard before Christmas.
After Christmas, my role as a playful elf continues somewhat during the Suns of Winter games and manual workshops offered by the town hall of Angers.
It is important for me, at Christmas even more than at other times, to bring a smile to the faces of the children that we make play with my former colleagues from the town hall and the other volunteers.
It was my former colleagues who pushed me to tell you about the volunteer work I do, otherwise I would not have mentioned the subject.
Either way, my role as a playful elf brings me a lot of human joy.
The smile of children and families is the greatest thank you we can receive.
Thank you again to all the volunteers in the fun world and all the volunteers in general, you are on top ;)
Aware that the smallest impact that we can have can be useful to the planet, a few obvious reflexes imposed themselves on me.
We turn off all devices that are not in use every lunchtime and evening: computers, printers, payment terminal, parcel terminal.
Standby being energy-intensive, we turn them off and only turn them back on when the store is open.
Everything is off as soon as we leave the store, including the sign and all the lights in the store!
These are small daily efforts that add to the reuse of our order boxes for orders made on the store's website or to create various decorations and displays.
All printing errors are used to make draft sheets.
We use reusable cartridges for the store's printers as well as recycled and recyclable paper.
Our gift wrap is kraft and therefore easily recyclable for reuse.
These are just small efforts, but they are so important for the planet and for us.
As part of our outdoor activities, we offer team cohesion workshops via games.
Bringing games that unite teams or resolve tensions is always an enriching experience for the team concerned and for us.
Well beyond just a game, the team cohesion workshop allows you to challenge a team to help it become aware of its weak points and give it ways to overcome them.
In a beneficial atmosphere, the game then serves to show what is not coherent and needs to be addressed to improve cohesion within the team.
With more than 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry with different audiences, we remain attentive and caring to help the progress of the teams we support.
In an eco-responsible approach, a large part of our packaging received when ordering games is reused.
They can be used for the packaging of online orders, to create displays or even to create store and window decoration.
This is an approach that we have been carrying out since the creation of the store and apply in our daily actions.
For example, we turn off the lights of the sign, the store and the computers and other electrical and electronic devices as soon as we are closed or when they are not in use.
The gift wrap that we offer is made of recycled and recyclable paper, as well as the adhesive tape which is made of a totally recyclable vegetable plastic.
We have exchanged all halogen bulbs in the store and the sign for LED bulbs that are better for the environment.
We donate furniture or objects that we no longer use so that they can have a second life.
As you already know, I have been playing since I was young.
The world of games has always rocked my childhood and followed me until adulthood.
Working in a field where you live one of your passions is just great.
We no longer want to share it with everyone, because we love what we do.
As Novalis says
“To play is to experience chance”.
The game allows you to get together for a fun time.
Whether it is strategic, atmosphere, management, board, speed, etc...
The game is always a moment to sit down together and share.
Whether we take it very seriously or more lightly depending on our mood or desire to play at the moment, there is always a game that lends itself to our playful experiments, even the craziest... ;)
I leave the last word to one of my clients:
“We see that you love what you do, you put time and passion into it”.
