PLAY - NURTURING CURIOUS AND CONFIDENT CHILDREN
08 Jun 2023
The National Sports and Physical Activity Convention (NSC) will be a celebration of the power of play and its impact on our lives. The NSC recognises that play is not just for children; it is an essential element that nurtures curiosity, builds confidence, and sets the stage for a lifetime of physical literacy. This year, NSC23 is set to take play to new heights and explore innovative ways to encourage youngsters to engage in physical activity, all while having fun.
In partnership with Play Australia, the NSC has curated a compelling two-day program that delves into the latest global and local thinking on play. It addresses the need for a national play agenda, emphasizing how play serves as the foundation for a more inclusive and equitable society. The conference will highlight the significance of allowing children to engage in unstructured play rather than specializing in a single sport, fostering resilience and adaptability in today's world.
One of the key themes explored at NSC23 is the idea of creating play environments that inspire curiosity from a young age. The conference will showcase the concept of "20-minute precincts," highlighting the importance of designing play spaces that are easily accessible and encourage physical activity within a 20-minute precinct. Moreover, NSC23 will delve into how we can design play parks that are future-proofed for the next 20 years, ensuring that children can continue to thrive and explore their environments.
At the heart of NSC23 is the belief in human-centric design and children's rights when it comes to play environments. By embracing these principles, we can create engaging and inclusive spaces that empower children and spark their imagination. The conference will provide insights into how this approach can shape the future of play.
