Power of Play
Invited speakers from across the world have been asked to present 45 minute lecture on the power of play from their specific academic perspective. This will be followed by a question and answer session. The presenters background and knowledge will make this a multidisciplinary track over the 2 days.
Places People Play
A fascinating set of presentations that explore where children play. There will be sessions looking at different aspects of staffed provision as well as places where there are potentially no adults.
Reinvigorating Playwork
Arthur Battram and friends will spend the day looking at playwork past, present and future whist pondering the questions about what happens next
