TACTYC are delighted to present our May Webinar: ‘Anthropocene: Playful Encounters with Nature. Outdoor Play Pedagogy for 2-4 Year Olds,

with Lisa Goddard and Dr Natalie Shaw.

This session invites educators into a co-created experimental space to explore children’s play in the Anthropocene. Collectively, using practitioner documentation, we will attempt to shift our gaze of children's play towards a common worlding perspective foregrounding more-than-human agencies in play, disrupting anthropocentric paradigms in early childhood education.
