Playday is the annual celebration of
children's right to play.
On Playday and throughout the summer of 2008, thousands of
children, young people and communities will get out and play at
hundreds of locally organised events across the UK.
Playday 2008 is on Wednesday 6 August.
The campaign theme this year is Give us a go!
The campaign promotes the benefits of allowing children to
manage their own risks whilst playing and aims to counter the
risk-averse 'cotton wool' culture that can limit children's
play.
Let's make Playday 2008 the biggest and best yet!
Seminars for Playday organisers were recently held
in Birmingham, Manchester, London, Builth Wells and Taunton.
The seminars, attended by over 250 delegates, were an
opportunity to learn about putting on a Playday event and to meet
fellow Playday organisers.
The 2008 Get organised! guide is now
available.
The guide contains tips and ideas to help you plan your Playday
celebration. From choosing a location to getting publicity or ideas
for the day, it’s easy with the Playday Get organised!
guide.
