Dr Sian Jones from Queen Margaret University has conducted research which explores how imaginative play can be used to increase a child's intentions to play with children who are immigrants or refugees. 
In this episode Sian and Sarah Taylor-Whiteway discuss the idea of imagination, the impact of being from an isolated group and how play has the potential to build connections between groups.  We consider how these ideas can be used in the classroom to promote inclusion and friendships.
