Over to you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PLA holds two 24 hour face-to-face meetings a year<\/a> (typically in November and March) and then organises the July Playful Learning Conference. We are looking for volunteers to host our March (Spring) PLA meet-up<\/strong>, ideally in the London\/Midlands area – we like to move around the country to give everyone a chance to attend. The host only needs to book a room at their institution, and lay on (ideally) lunch for 20(ish) people on arrival and teas and coffees from the Thursday lunchtime till the Friday lunchtime. They can also get as involved as they want in setting the theme and agenda for the event. Interested? Drop Katie an email to discuss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Journal of Play in Adulthood<\/a> has a special call for papers<\/a> out now (deadline for abstracts, Dec 10th)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who’s excited about the Playful Learning Conference 2020<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
