Workshop with Suzanna Law
Children have a biological, psychological and social need to play! Using case studies and stories from all over the world, this workshop will include discussions on adventure play, risk and challenge, and how the societal need to over-schedule and over-protect may have a detrimental effect on the lives of children. Join and explore the amazing benefits of child-directed play, and learn about ways to support independence, experimentation and risk-taking in child-led play.
Film Screening
As well as being given expert answers to your questions about play, participants will be shown the renowned short documentary The Land (Play Free Movie) about the famous Welsh adventure playground.
