begleri for the people
Begleri for the People is a project of Aroundsquare. Since first encountering begleri in 2015, we’ve been designing and producing our own. We’re firm believers in the value of analogue play, and in the benefits that can compound from having a simple little focus tool in your pocket.. not just something to pass the time, but something that engages your focus and rewards the development of skill, creativity, and personal expression.
Over the years, a robust community of players from all corners of the world has developed around begleri, pushing the possibilities of play, and enjoying the benefits that come with it. But begleri itself remains relatively unknown.
The objective of this campaign is simple: to put this remarkable little skill toy into the hand of people from all walks of life who might not otherwise encounter it.
About Aroundsquare
Aroundsquare’s roots are in education and social development, but we’ve been creating compelling, physical goods since the early 2000s. Over time, our focus has shifted to concentrate principally on developing products with a strong social purpose. We have a deep belief in the value of skill toys and manipulative items to our lives, and since the mid-2010s, we’ve been a leader in the development of modern begleri and the surrounding community. We may not be for everyone, but we're for anyone.
We’re based in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, located on the traditional and unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən Traditional Territory Peoples, specifically the Songhees and Xʷsepsəm (Esquimalt) Nations.
