– to connect

Play Together

In the past, we have rented roller skating rinks and had physical face-to-face challenges. This year we want to make the most of being at home – and to use all the resources and advantages. Different people are working together to organise this night, bringing energy.

Blue Monday is a community effort, organised by the makers of the summer’s Homemade Parade (an online extravaganza of homemade art and celebration to mark the Barnaby Parade).
IDST! are a crew of local techies, artists and experimenters – our watch words are: Playful, Purposeful and People-Powered – and Blue Monday is our chance to check-in with one another and make something special, even in mid-winter, even in lockdown!

Guides and Materials

You can find the instructions for taking part, Morse code cheatsheets as well as guides here. These have been put up around the tree as well as shared on our social media and beyond.
