"The Fun Theory"

[spyraal]

Hello,

A few days ago, i was shown a nice site called The Fun Theory (http://thefuntheory.com/) and i thought it would be nice to share it with all of you.

Their concept according to them is this:

This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better.
Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

So, what they actually did is to take some every-day objects (like a rubbish can or a metro staircase) and convert them to...toys! This way, more people are using them than ever before, and they actually have fun at the same time. It is quite an interesting concept!

Check the videos:

The Piano stairs (great!) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw&feature=channel

It is nice to see how having fun and a playful spirit can improve things in life...

Really like the Piano stairs.

I have just put it on FB.

Thanks for sharing.

The group seems to be from Sweden. After years of living in Sweden I've observed that Swedes are quite creative and playful (that is once you manage to get through the typical Nordic reservedness)

Thanks for the heads up!
