Dear Playworker,
The Playwork Foundation would love to hear from you all about your summers.
You could share a photo or series of photos, a video piece, a poem, story or diary, artwork, a musical, street art, five minute presentations….it doesn’t really matter, but something from you that tells us what you want to share about your work in the holidays.
We will gather these and share them on our brand shiny new website and in another open meeting in September. We have seen loads of great examples of the documentation of play, from Meriden Adventure Playground for example, and from Gwealan Tops.
Part of the work of the Playwork Foundation is to celebrate the genuine passion and inspiration we have for our work. As far as we know there has never been a collection of our responses to the summer holidays, the busiest time of the year for our sector. So this shared collage, gallery, exhibition, showcasing of our work would not only be a way of building up a reference base, feeding real life examples into a shared pool of wisdom, but it would be a simple cost free way of the Playwork Foundation honouring our work.
So while you spend time this summer, being alongside children playing, if words or an image or artwork or interpretive dance spring into you mind to help you capture the moment perfectly, we will be utterly delighted to celebrate those moments with you.
Submit your pieces here.
The Playwork Foundation
