The Pop-Ups Canada Tour 2017 will showcase inspiring play provision from around the world, providing a range of training, workshops, pop-up adventure playgrounds alongside screenings of ‘The Land’, a documentary of unique, raw footage from an adventure playground in Wales, UK.
UK-born Suzanna Law who is studying for a PhD in the field, co-founded the organisation to train and support communities everywhere to make room for child-directed play. “Children everywhere need time and space to play in their own way, but they are not getting enough of those opportunities,” says Law. “We at Pop-Up Adventure Play want to support people.
Team Pop-Up Adventure Play are pleased to announce that we’ll be running a pop-up adventure playground near Edmonton, hosted by the good folks of Laurier Heights Out of School Care on August 25th, 2017, 1-4.
Come join us for some self-directed play time with open-ended materials like cardboard boxes, fabric, tubes and woks. Everyone is welcome, but dress for play as it might get a little messy!
