Speakers: Alice Sharp of Experiential Play
Every day, every experience and everyone we meet evokes an emotional response in each one of us. As adults,
we are more attuned to this; however, for very young children it can be unknown or unexplored territory.
Ben Tawil- Leeds Beckett University and Ludicology - Play, Resilience and Wellbeing: The Important Role of
Flexibility, Uncertainty and Risk in Play
Play has been present in human behaviour throughout evolution and as such we can understand its significance in
our ‘being’ and our becoming’.
Workshops

‘Loose parts’ interventions, facilitated through a play-centred approach, demonstrate sustained benefits
