Episode Details

In Episode 18, Marina looks at:

• The empowerment of educators and those who work with young people.
• What we have lost since the 1920’s, in terms of children’s roaming radius!
• The cultural lens of risk and play.
• How our own risk appetite affects us and what we do.
• Is using our hands for crafts, whittling and fire-making really that risky?

Risk is such an important subject that I will definitely keep coming back to, It links to healthy development, the opportunity for change and growth and help us to build self-worth and confidence!

Do get in touch if you want to add to this conversation and support positive change in our society.
