'Stuff and nonsense' - a great title, @wkrussell; so aptly resonating of how Stuart Lester, in his work for both researchers and practitioners, used to dive recklessly in the moment of play and in the myriad, chaotic ways playfulness matters to children.

Today, this is my favourite quote on play: “Children are gluttons for life… Play has something to do with attacking life in an unconventional manner.” John Bertelsen (playworker at Emdrup, the world's 1st #adventureplayground), writing in 1972. Image credit: Sven Türck / Visda

[ICCP @PlayICCP]

Great (open access 💪) article on how British adventure playgrounds adapted, facing Covid-19 requirements, within their communities. #weekendreads 🤓

[ICCP @PlayICCP]

And then it just takes a bit of time and some imagination. :)

[PARS Playwork @PARSPlaywork]

When children say they are bored, Jan van Gils, former President of @PlayICCP, replied 'Ah, so you haven't found what you want to do yet.' So empowering!

[ICCP @PlayICCP]

Thank you to each and every person who shared their research and passion for play at the conference! Let's this be the start of your conversations! Until we meet again.. hopefully in person 😀

[Dr Shelly Newstead @shelnews]

There are few things as genuinely wonderful as #play researchers from different disciplines delighting in their research connections... leads to such rich, joyful discussions which are an absolute privilege to listen to! @PlayICCP

[Kind & Samenleving @KindSamenleving]

Several talks on Covid-19 and play @PlayICCP conference today. 🤓 @Dr_Pete_King showing the broader role playworkers took up in the communities during and after lockdown for children, schools and adults alike.
