The journal will be of interest to anthropologists, educationalists, folklorists, historians, linguists, philosophers, play workers, psychologists, sociologists, therapists and zoologists.
International Journal of Playwork Practice
Playwork originated with adventure playgrounds to provide children safe spaces to play in post-WWII Europe. Playworkers help to create physical and emotional spaces where children are free to direct their own play and other activities safely and with minimal adult intrusion. Playwork practice is currently used by professionals working with children in an extensive range of international settings such as schools and after-school programs, zoos, museums, parks, hospitals, and prisons, as well as adventure playgrounds. International Journal of Playwork Practice advances playwork research and practice by providing an interdisciplinary platform for the publication and dissemination of scholarship relevant to playwork practice.
