“The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times . . .
The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile”
(Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).
In the past 28 years of work as a consultant for intercultural education at the Lower Austrian Government and lecturer for educational institutions in Austria, I could observe and experience the great potential of play with constructing bricks for development of skills and competences which are required for individuals and teams in the 21st cemtury, such as intercultural sensitivity, multilingual communication, cooperative and co-constructive problem solving, digital literacy, creative thinking and attentive use of time, space and other resources.
Creative design and multilingual storytelling practice which I have started with LEGO bricks including other materials, could empower the children and adults in their expression at all levels, enrich the variety of creations and encourage cooperation.
Such experiences have led me to develop the Play ~ Well concept, which leans on to LEGO-Brick principle. The concept provides a connection between action strategies and forms of behaviour (attitudes).
The name LEGO derives from "Leg godt" in Danish. The translation into German as "spiele gut" can be perceived as a code for a strategic attitude which in the concept of cultural change2030 in the global sustainable transformation process, is illuminated more closely. The "wave" (tilde) between terms "play" and "well" acts as a mathematical sign of proportionality and as a symbolical form of connection, which in this context is given between the action and emotional perception and creates space for practice of the mindful reflexivity by Well ~ Acts (sequences consists of art practices, design and wellness area) to increase the holistic vitality of action. The term "Session" relates to the format, frame and timeline of the educational modules and should be associated with passages of time and actions.

"Make attention, be in time, play, play with"
are the main sources for starting activities which relate to curiosity, awareness and creativity as essential attitudes for performance excellence at all life stages. Critical thinking is endorsed and raised by curiosity gained, awareness increases by the soothing effects evoked through multi-sensory perception, creative potential activated by play, a sense for thniking with the social and natural emnvironment, is enacted by a guided imagination and by moderated individual and collaborative play.
