We’re going to Eastbourne… are you?

It’s just 7 weeks until the 21st National Playwork Conference in England, and The Playwork Foundation is pleased to share that, not only will our Trustees be travelling from all corners of Great Britain to attend but, we will also be curating our own track!

In an email earlier this week, Meynell of Meynell Games (the organiser of the conference) shared some of the exciting speakers lined-up for another new track entitled ‘Play and Playwork Around The World’:

• Meera Patel and Juliette Liebi will be drawing on their experiences in South Africa, and discussing the Art Panels their project has produced;
• Maya Lan will be traveling from Cyrpus to deliver a session on processing trauma through play, which she has noticed in her work in the Middle East;
• Niki Buchan will be drawing on her experiences working in South Africa and Australia, and talking about the importance of play for mental health and wellbeing; and
• Joan Beattie will be speaking Playwork and the experience in Transylvania.

We also got a sneak peak of what Playwork in Progress regular, Suzanne Axelsson, will be presenting on at the conference:

Conference prices will be going up again in February, so if you’ve not already booked now is the time (and tell them The Playwork Foundation sent you 😜):
