Public places are important to children and teenagers, helping them to explore and play in their neighbourhoods. This free webinar will report on research which:

• explores play and physical activity
• discusses the wants and needs of young people in their local communities in Wales and the development of an app (RPlace) that will facilitate advocacy work.

Speakers:

• Meghan Talarowski, of Studio Ludo, who has researched what playground elements promote moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and how these elements may have a future impact on population health.
• Dr. Michaela James, from Swansea University, who will discuss the importance of co-production with children and teenagers in reference to physical activity and play.
• Sana Shaikh, an intern funded by Play Wales at the National Centre for Population Health & Wellbeing Research, will discuss current progress with the RPlace app.
• Professor Gareth Stratton, from Swansea University, will discuss the Active Healthy Kids Wales Report Card.

Who should attend?
Parks and playground managers, public health professionals, child health researchers, playworkers, planners.
