Play and Playfulness across Education

Join an open webinar exploring play and playfulness for educational purposes

Play and Playfulness across Education
Play and playfulness are attracting increased interest across education with a growing number of researchers, developers and practitioners engaging in playful pedagogies and curriculum. This webinar aims to explore the conceptualizations, implications and applications - the potentials and challenges - of play and playfulness for educational purposes from kindergarten to higher education. This is approached through three themes, six distinct voices, and subsequent group discussion amongst all participants.

The webinar takes place November 23, 2021, 14:00-17:00 CET.
