Join us on Twitter Tuesday, April 27 at 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT for the next instalment of our monthly #WePlayChat. We are honoured to welcome Shimira Williams from The Beauty of S.T.E.M to the main stage to discuss the topic, “Making Space for Play in Community”.
Shimira Williams is an authentic change agent that builds digital citizens through play and productivity. She integrates digital media literacy, tools, and learning materials to harness the power of technology, extending learning opportunities, and retooling business operations in early learning environments. Her vision for technology seeks to improve people’s ability to communicate and collaborate and to allow people to focus on the human-to-human connection.
Here are the questions we will be covering during this #WePlayChat:
Q1. How can play help children and the grown-up in their life build trust for long-lasting relationships?
Q2. What are ways play helps build a trusting relationship amongst peers (in school and at work)?
Q3. Who do you play with in your own community and why?
Q4. Where and when do you make time for play in your community?
