Always keen to update my skills, I am attending a day conference aimed at those working with children & youth. The training conference is sure to be inspiring and innovative in its delivery due to the speakers/practitioners attending.
Specific workshops will be led by Bob Hughes, Play Education; Play First Scotland; Andrew Schoolbread, Scottish Out of School Care Network, Dr Lesley Kelly, MVA; Ivan Harper, Midlothian Sure Start and Theresa Casey Consultancy.
The series of presentations and hands-on workshops will include:
Whose play is it?
Playworker – a challenging role. Safe vs Risk
Inspiring play opportunities: making the best use of play spaces with children.
Shelters and cooking without gas!
Getting started with funding
Whose play is it? (workshop)
Get out of the comfort zone – challenge yourself, staff, parents and children
Exploring schematic play patterns with young children
Defend the right to real play!
The conference is run by Rosewell After School Club and my former employer, Midlothian Association of Play, on November 24th 2012, at Beeslack Community High School, Penicuik.
If you know anyone that is interested in attending, I can email details.
