5 wisdoms from James Cook at the #CALAConference2025 - from the swirling mass of paperwork and guidance to the child at the centre… 1. Be led by the little people 2. Pave your own path 3. Be curious and research-informed 4. Take a developmental approach 5. Have fun!

John McKendrick shares his families play scenarios while sharing what he has learnt from his shared research passions play and poverty. Then Marguerite HB takes us through how advocates for Play have changed the law to ensure Play is taken into account in local planning


Thank you so VERY MUCH, Fulton MacGregor MSP !

Outdoor play and learning aren’t just “nice” — they’re essential for children’s mental health and holistic development. 🌿💚 Excited to head to Campsie Glen Woodland tomorrow with Mrs Woolfries via G20 Youth Project Forest School Centre #VitaminN #MorePlayPlease #ChildDirectedLearning
