Amazing memories .. 1 year on already! And now look where we are at - looking forward to celebrating the first International Day of Play 😃 #IDOP2024

International Day of Play and we spent it alongside 36 play enthusiasts from a range of disciplines and backgrounds discussing where we are now and what more needs done in relation to play and research. It feels as though there are sparks of something exciting about to happen!

Not sure what to say other than this was such a special place to be yesterday .. connecting with others from across Scotland about play and research .. sharing ideas, discussing issues, blue sky thinking .. and all done playfully! #IDoP2024 #PlayConnectsUsAll

It was a great day yesterday and fun to talk about play, playfully! I feel something exciting will come of this! Thank you and Well done Stacey Marko for organising 👏
