Keynote / Play is Powerful - Next Library

Keynote / Play is Powerful

Across the animal kingdom, play pervades. Why? Because play is a developmental necessity for many species to thrive, including us humans. Then why do we as a species push play aside, trivialize it and view it as just a nice-to-have?

In my session, we will remind ourselves why play matters, the challenges it is facing and what the LEGO Group is doing to address the “play gap”.

Play is powerful, and David hopes to remind us why.
