With today’s session on #resilience, I took the class #outside 🌳🍃 We used Lego play techniques to identify personal values & what brings us joy, to create strategies for greater #wellbeing. Great time of reflection & hope 🌈 @uniofexeter #festivalofDiscovery #play #LSP

The husband @GavJB has adopted a #gamification approach to getting the kids dressed this morning! As the #seriousPlay practitioner in the house I’m thinking... “why didn’t I think of that?!” I’m now off to produce a leaderboard, countdown clock & prizes!

[Janice Button (Gibbs) @janicejbutton]

That would be amazing!

The writing retreat gift box was such a thoughtful idea! (Even though my kids got to the sweets before I could! 🤨🙄😂). Such a great group to spend the time and share ideas with too @UoEEduInc

[UoE Education Incubator @UoEEduInc]

We also think they enjoyed their gift boxes (full of recycled & recyclable things to help them thrive & get the most out of the retreat)! @SawsanKhuri @janicejbutton @helzfc123 Christine Robins @marchbank_a Isabel Aruna @MananShah4432 @MengyaZhao1 Angelica Bas & @garrett_rhianna

"We should all have no fear of using play as a serious part of pedagogy." This was a major point made by the lovely @alisonrjames when speaking (without PowerPoint!) at our @UoEEduInc funded Monthly Meeting. Read more about it here: https://t.co/oEHTWlgVdM

Have to thank the wonderful @UoEEduInc @se_dyer @Tom_Ritchie1 @curiousways for a brilliant writing retreat split over the last 2 days. I actually got the short paper I have been putting off done! So inspiring and just what I needed, thank you!
