Festival of Playful Ideas - PERTH

Register Now
What if we gave the mic to anyone with a wild idea about play, and let them run with it? The Festival of Playful Ideas is a first of its kind gathering where speakers take the stage on whatever play concept sets their mind alight. No fixed themes, no safe topics, just bold thinkers invited to challenge, provoke and stretch how we see play in schools, cities, childhood and beyond. Join us for a playful day that includes lunch, fun and playful reflection in an intimate setting with internatioal speakers. Limited numbers to maximise conversation and engagement.

Expect ideas that do not fit neatly into a program. Expect to leave with your assumptions rattled. This is a day built for out of the box thinking, where provocateurs push us past the obvious and into the possible.

This inaugural event marks the start of an annual gathering, bringing together leading voices from around the world with home grown provocateurs to challenge how Australia thinks about play.

Featuring

Professor Mariana Brussoni,  Canada

Dr Wendy Russell,  United Kingdom

Dr Megan Zeni,  Canada

Robyn Monro Miller,  home grown provocateur

Also featuring some home grown WA Talent to inspire deeper thought!!
