Parks, playtimes and working together – Exploring/play in the park

Visit, explore and play together at Hanley Park

We are working together with St Johns Primary school and staff from the university of Keele (Institute of Social Inclusion), to explore how play and games have changed over the years.

We are bringing up to 10 young people and up to 10 older people together three times to explore different games and to think about how play has changed over the years. We will also meet once to paint different sized pebbles to leave together at Hanley Park when we visit.

We will then meet once at a workshop at Parkfield House, the Beth Johnson Foundation, to talk with each other about play and games that we are used to.

We will then go to Hanley Park for an afternoon to play together and explore the park.

We will then meet up again at Parkfield House to talk about how our visit to the park went and what we all learned. All three times we meet there will be a film maker recording us to make a film of what we did and what we learned.
