Join us for a special book launch as part of Turf’s current project, ‘Squidgy World’.
The Book Launch of ‘Drawing Risky Play’ by Ruth Beale and children at The New School.
This book of children’s drawings illustrates a process of doing, exploring, thinking, and of tackling questions about play and risk. It includes interviews with the children, and with teachers and playworkers of two South London organisations at the forefront of progressive approaches to self-directed learning and play: The New School, a free-to-attend independent democratic school in the north of Croydon borough, and The Triangle, a 66-year-old adventure playground in Vauxhall.
