Seriously: Play
NOTE: This event is postponed due to the L.A. fires; March 1 is our tentative new date, which will be confirmed soon.
Join us
for a fun and serious conversation around play.
“To be playful and serious at the same time is possible and it is the ideal mental condition” espoused progressive education pioneer John Dewey.
What if play could save us all – children, parents, and educators? (Seriously.) This TEDxUCLA event features leading educators and thought leaders Dean Tagawa, Melinda Tsapatsaris, Neal Wrightson, Nnenna Nwachuku and Dr. Helen Davis, whose lifetime of work centers on harnessing the power of play towards children and adults living out ideals of democracy, critical + creative thinking, cooperation, and engaged citizenship. Seriously: Play will expand and hone in on the serious work of play and how play is the work we must be doing.
