Our friends at the Playful Places network are hosting their next session on 5th Dec, led by Rebekah Polding, CEO at Discover Children’s Story Centre, and will be looking at how they recruit, support and develop their creative facilitators. This should be useful for any organisation thinking about staff roles, skills and development in relation to supporting opportunities for play: whether that’s volunteers, freelancers or front of house staff. Future sessions include working cross-team, establishing a culture of play and even how to be more playful ourselves. https://lnkd.in/e5RfcycK
