Torbay Play Forum Creative Play Journeys

Creative Play Journeys is providing a partnership process between play and the arts, bringing together an emerging play service with professional artists to create new opportunities for young people. It is providing a chance for parents, friends and others to visit local play spaces to look at these innovations. It is encouraging children and young people to be part of a developing creative community, reaching out to those from the most hard to reach groups including disabled children and those from ethnic minorities. It is revealing the importance of understanding adult intervention and the importance of playful environments to support children’s play.

Community artists have a natural understanding about the need to support and encourage creativity and not to take over. Playworkers can be less confident and are supported by the artists. They are also inspired by the imaginative responses of children they know well and the way they respond to the challenges. Creative Play Journeys will develop the project to include staff training before, during and after the creative arts involvement. The intention is to build this into playworkers’ training as part of their continuous professional development.
