Dates for your 2010 Diary:
Wednesday, 29th September 2010 - Seminar hosted by Yorkshire Play at Eureka!
Yorkshire's Play conference this year has been postponed. With all of the changes afoot in the Play industry it seemed more appropriate to hold a seminar to discuss the future of play in the region. The seminar is for us as Play practitioners to come together with heads of Health, Sport and Community organisations in the region to find more effective ways of delivering children's play facilities in these challenging times.
Yorkshire Play is an independent organisation that is neither funded by government or governed by others. This new forum will allow it's individuals to discuss the future with the benefit of total independence.
The seminar takes place on the 29th of September at Eureka from 11:00. As we have limited places for this seminar if you would like to attend or you would like a copy of the Agenda please contact Tom Matthews at Yorkshire Play -

Earlyarts International UnConference - 9 November 2010, Halifax, Yorkshire. SAVE THE DATE!
As a friend of Earlyarts you are receiving advanced notice of our forthcoming International UnConference on 9 November at the Square Chapel Centre for the Arts and Eureka! The National Children’s Museum in Halifax.
The event will feature leadership insights from Estelle Morris, formerly Secretary of State for Education and Skills and Minister for the Arts. The UnConference – an event model that turns the traditional conference format on its head - is designed to share and celebrate the best ideas amongst our creative and early years practitioners right across the network, not to be preached at or bored. And Earlyarts wouldn’t be Earlyarts without showcasing some of the most inspiring international practice from our global partners.
