Two weeks had passed since the Playwork Campference 2019 had concluded. I was surrounded by snotty tissues. No, I wasn’t emotional that it had all come to an end. This was just my post-project cold. It was one of the worst I’d had in a while, which hinted...

Sadly, I wasn’t able to attend the National Playwork Conference this year having only just arrived back home from our Playwork Campference in Los Angeles. Luckily there was a live stream available. This allowed me to watch the awards whilst unpacking my rucksack...

By Morgan Playworkers make a point of going where invited. With children, this usually means waiting to be asked to join in play, rather than blundering over with our own ideas. This tour is one extension of that idea. We’d had emails of interest from people all...

We were taught to write thank-you notes after people had been kind to us, and one thing this tour has proven is that extraordinary kindness isn’t really extraordinary after all. In fact, we met it in every stop, in every state and before we’d even hit the...
