Play is essential for tamariki wellbeing, and playful environments are welcoming and joyful spaces for everybody – but play hasn’t always been at the top of the list for considerations when designing urban spaces, or when thinking more generally about what makes a city a good place to live, work, and visit.
Join us at this Auckland Conversation as we encourage participants to imagine what it would be like if Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland was full of opportunities for play and fun, for people of all ages.
Our speakers will discuss the importance of play, and specific ways that play outcomes can be achieved in urban spaces. Our panel will continue the conversation by sharing different perspectives of play and its importance in making Tāmaki Makaurau a welcoming space for all.
This event is part of Auckland Council's programme of play activations and activities to celebrate Play Week.
