The Australian Children’s Week Oration by Tim Gill

Restoring Children’s Freedoms

How can parents, educators, campaigners and decision makers build the case for outdoor play, and for a balanced, thoughtful approach to risk?

Based on his influential books No Fear: Growing up in a risk averse society and Urban Playground: child-friendly planning and design can save cities, Tim Gill will make the case for expanding children’s horizons, starting in their own homes, schools, children’s services settings and neighbourhoods.

Tim’s presentation will be followed by a panel of Australian leaders and audience reflection and discussion on what action we need to take to create a case for play, and where does play fit in the National Wellbeing Agenda?
