Thursday
Room 1: Stories and Reflections
What does a playworker do most? Tidy up and observe and reflect. This Room is where pairs of playworkers will be telling a story about an experience from their setting and reflecting upon it in terms of playwork practice. Over the course of the day we will hear stories from different types of playwork settings.

Room 2: Advocacy
