The enterprises, led by a group of passionate, purpose-led entrepreneurs, are tackling an array of pressing community issues both locally and internationally.

We’d like to thank Griffith University for proudly supporting Elevate+ at Homebase and Logan City Council for their support, as well as the entire cohort for the hard work and grit they have demonstrated in getting to where they are.

Folly Games want to make the world more playful. They are an inclusive organisation who design and facilitate active and creative participatory experiences for family audiences. Their mission is Playfulness Everywhere.

There is now generations of research evidencing the importance of play from birth, all throughout childhood and adolescence into adulthood. In communities where play is present, research links to healthier, happier, and more literate individuals functioning in more cohesive communities.

Disengagement from these activities and community groups usually happens around the time of adolescence, which is where Folly Games provides an opportunity for tweens and teens to re-engage. 

Played, tested and evaluated with thousands of kids in outdoor festivals over the past ten years, their projects meet tweens and early adolescents exactly at the bridge between childhood play and their deepening adolescent imagination to encourage an uninhibited ability to play into adulthood. It’s sport for the non-sporty, arts for the non-arty, outside in the fresh air and sunshine. All of their programs have a central theme of kids collaborating to create their own worlds. It’s into these worlds they hope participants will invite their adults to join in with them and keep playing too.
