We're thrilled to be hosting workshops by
two British playworkers this year. The first, with Marc Armitage,
will be held at the Museum in March:
Play For Its Own Sake: a playworking approach
Friday, March 22 | 1:00-2:30 PM
Playwork is a profession wholly dedicated to supporting children's
freely chosen, self-directed play in a variety of settings.
Playwork approaches are used with children aged 0-19, and reframe
such issues as challenging behavior and children's rights in
unique and powerful ways. With its professional bodies, training
structures and educational and theoretical frameworks firmly
established in the UK, Germany, Japan and elsewhere, playwork is
still "emerging" in the United States. This is an unusual
opportunity to hear a widely recognized and experienced playworker
and playwork trainer speak on such topics as: what playwork
offers, some of the key names and theories, and how playwork
approaches can be combined with other ways of working as well as
delving into deeper topics like risk assessments and challenging
behavior.
