DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :Play is a serious matter to young children across cultures. This is evidenced by the passionate, intensive, and energetic engagement many children invest in this activity. Play experiences are widely recognised to create the foundations for children’s healthy and holistic development. In Finland, children’s opportunities for play are highly regarded in the education of children under seven years old, and lately the interest towards play and playful learning have extended to the education of older children, even adults. In my talk, I will be reflecting on current international research on play and learning and how this scientific evidence is taken up in Finnish education, in its policy and practice. I will draw attention to the possibilities and thresholds, and show how play and learning is also about playing with learning. I will end my talk by considering the changing landscapes of play in the digital era and their consequences for children’s learning, educational practice and teacher professional competencies. http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=5325
