We have said this conference is unique, and so is our program!

The program is structured broadly across the themes of Urban Planning and Design, Education, Health and current cross sectoral issues like climate change and risk management, as well as the impact of technology on play.

Each session is structured around a provocation. These provocations are designed to encourage critical discussion and reflection about the intersection of play in various environments. Every stream will have a play provocateur, challenging our thinking and sharing their wisdom, complemented by a range of skilled and experienced panellists, who will also serve as “provocateurs,” sharing their work and inspiring us with their story of how they address the provocation.

Conference Participants can switch between streams and will have a choice of 4 provocations to attend per session. Each session will record reflections and insights from the provocateurs and participants, and this will be included in a final conference session which will engage all participants in an intensive workshopping of the ideas discussed and contribution to setting an agenda for future play advocacy and collaborations in the Asia Pacific.

Come prepared to playfully engage, be challenged, build your professional networks and be a part of this historic first Play collaboration in Asia Pacific!
