The "Ways of Play" Symposium
1800 North Dixboro Road
Ann Arbor, MI 48105
Tickets are now available for MBGNA’s The Ways of Play Symposium on April 13, 2024. Join us to be inspired by dynamic keynote speakers including play-based learning and early childhood expert Denisha Jones, PhD, JD, and environmental activist, artist, and educator, Jose Gonzales.
Our afternoon panel discussion features an opportunity to learn with local nature-based, play-based early childhood educators representing both childcare settings and grassroots initiatives, a local public school community implementing a Greening Schoolyards initiative, and an expert on outdoor adventure-based therapies for children.
In addition, we will have opportunities for small group community building, dialogue, and learning during outdoor nature play break-out sessions, as well as opportunities to network across disciplines. Lunch and snacks are provided to in-person participants.
Recognizing that cost can be a barrier to participation, we are offering no-cost tickets to university students and early childhood educators. Click here to reserve your spot.
