PACE Playshops

PACE playshops were sponsored by the Office of Diversity & Inclusion’s Learn More Series in 2022. The program is still operating and committed to connecting students with and without disabilities to campus information and resources on how to create accessible and inclusive programs and projects.

The playshop offerings of the PACE program are rooted in Positive Psychology (See Exploring Positive Psychology with Lego Serious Play) methodology and anti-ableist practices designed to strengthen students’ ability incorporate accessibility and disability-awareness into their student group meetings, programs and events.

These playshops literally meet students where they are in the BU community – academic classes, student group meetings, and student social events.

PACE Playshop Description

This highly interactive, hands-on playshop helps students examine challenges they may be facing in school, work, or life and explore campus-based resources for bridging the challenge to potential solutions and practical support all while learning about accessibility and disability-awareness and inclusion.. PACE playshops utilize LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) methodology along with Positive Psychology strategies as organized by Christopher Robinson of Disability & Access Services who mis certified in this methodology.

PACE playshops are available in formats identified as meaningful and accessible to undergrad or graduate student groups, large or small, and can be available as a stand-along workshop or embedded into an academic class or student or co-curricular meeting.
