Play Leader’s Workshop Report

Hoka’s report.

Today, we met Medaka-sensei for the first time in ages and had a lovely time at the Play Leader’s workshop! It would be great if more people attended our next meeting, so I’d like to fill you in on what we talked about today.

The theme of the workshop was “Risk Management and Crisis Management”. Our work requires us to look after both the physical and mental health of the children, so this theme is extremely important to us.

Starting with a case-study based on the Nijiiro Crayon’s own activities, we discussed a range of topics from whether a child could learn from injuring themselves to the responsibilities of a child at play; particularly in the playground, where “children play at their own risk”.

I’ll be sure to make use of what I learnt today to make our future activities better!　Medaka-sensei, thank you very much for talking with us!

Today’s participants were Medaka-sensei (as a lecturer),  Onchan-Shisho, Boo-chan, Nattsu and Hoka!
