- Facilitator of the Group Activity
- General Support Facilitator
- An Extra Pair of Hands
The first two will generally have been more involved in planning the specific event.

Playful Creative: Same event, Different locations
At the Newlands NECCHi trial, we're developing a protocol for an event that can be held in different locations and also hosted by various/different MOMA crews in the future. This Wiki page (along with the Discord communication channel), is growing into a repository of all the information and resources that others might need to get started hosting their own Playful Creative event in their own local communities.
Also, we're hoping to scale this to weekly events at different venues around Melbourne in the last quarter of 2024.
