PlayBook 1
Preface
Playful Learning is a long-term partnership between the university colleges in Denmark and the LEGO Foundation. With a solid basis in the Danish educational tradition, Playful Learning aims to promote and develop a more playful approach to children’s development, learning and well-being.
Playful Learning thus uses as a springboard the education of the pedagogues and teachers of tomorrow – with subsequent inclusion of day care and schools. PlayBook 1 gathers the experience gained from the first year of the Playful Learning programme and will therefore primarily focus on the development work to create better conditions for top-quality teaching at the six university colleges in Denmark.
We believe that, in a lifelong learning perspective, we should retain the opportunity to develop and learn through a playful approach. Therefore, the ambition of Playful Learning is to contribute to a significant development of culture and practice in Danish day care and schools aimed at strengthening children’s play, creativity, curiosity and desire to experiment.
The overall objective is to create a solid foundation for bringing higher professional competences into playing – and more playing into professional competences. Enjoy! Erik Knudsen, Steering Committee Chairman, & Laust Joen Jakobsen, Head of Programme
