England is closer than it has been in years to a new national play strategy. 

In this debut episode of The Play Attention Podcast, host Beth Cooper sits down with Eugene Minogue, Executive Director of Play England, to explore the long-awaited push for a play strategy in England - 17 years after the last one. 

What you’ll hear about:

• Why embedding play in planning and design matters now more than ever 
• Why play is the answer to arming children with the social and emotional skills to thrive in an AGI - Artificial General Intelligence - future
• What a “play-sufficiency duty” could mean for every child’s access to time, space and freedom to play 
• How adults, designers and communities can support this shift in mindset, beyond the playground.

Play Attention is a podcast from Timberplay - exploring the thinkers, designers and changemakers shaping the future of play.

Hosted by Beth Cooper, Independent Play Consultant.
