Play Conference
The Lego Foundation are working with partners to provide a free virtual Playful Schools Conference on 8, 9 and 10 February. While it is important that Scottish educators are able to distinguish between the play pedagogy promoted in Realising the Ambition, which has its roots in the UNCRC definition of play as self-motivated and self-directed, and playful approaches, which are likely to include more adult initiated or directed experiences, this may be a useful professional learning opportunity for colleagues.
