Planning For Play 2024 - Tales From The Playground
"Planning For Play - Tales From The Playground" is an event born out of the enthusiasm generated by feedback from the 2023 inaugural Planning For Play event...
Our 2024 installment will see educators, playworkers, community members and allied health professionals share their stories, their motivations, the wins, and their hurdles in setting up amazing spaces for children to play. The mission..? To give the inspired out there real information and passion to commence establishing phenomenal play projects of their own, and to advocate for great play more broadly and from different perspectives.
This fully catered event will offer networking and learning opportunities in an amazing venue (and we are certain plenty of kick on potential at this flourishing bayside culinary precinct).
We can also announce that special guest Marc Armitage from Malarkey Playwork will be kicking the event off with a tailored session on the historical context of play spaces like this and their importance to children and community.
So, join us for an amazing day and evening of fun, learning and the opportunity for much on-advocacy!
