Play PublicationsPLACES for PLAY, a new publication from PLAYLINKBooking for the launch of PLACES for PLAY is now closed, as the event is now full. To order copies of PLACES for PLAY, please go to: http://www.freeplaynetwork.org.uk/pubs/pfporder.htm. Speakers: Professor Pat Petrie, Thomas Coram Research
Unit; Institute of Education, University of London Monday 14 February 2005, 10:30am - 1pm What makes an outdoor space a good place to play? Too often poor design robs children of vital opportunities to learn and be healthy and wastes public money. There is an urgent need to rethink how play is provided for in public. Parents, play providers, politicians, popular opinion - all have a part to play in bringing about change. PLACES for PLAY illustrates some of the many creative ways in which children's play outdoors is being catered for. By demonstrating what is possible, it is intended to inspire a more imaginative approach to the creation of play spaces and public space, one founded on understanding the needs and wishes of children. Sandra retired as Director of PLAYLINK at the end of July 2004. This event will be an opportunity to celebrate the organisation's forty year commitment to the cause of children's play and Sandra's contribution to that work. Deadline for bookings: Friday 4 February 2005 PLEASE NOTE The FSA has strict procedures for security. Your booking must be received by the 4 February deadline. Please use the form overleaf. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. About PLAYLINK.
Though PLACES for PLAY marks the formal end of PLAYLINK as a charity,
the work to promote radical improvement in public provision for
play will be taken forward in the same traditions by a new, not-for-profit
organisation under the same name. About the Free Play Network.
