FRP Canada is proud to have Dr. Paul deliver keynote remarks at our conference!

We are also proud to announce that Lisa Wolff (Director, Policy and Education) at UNICEF will deliver a keynote: The Power of Play as linked to The Right to Play, (UNCRC Article 31). Play is not only good for children’s health and development; it is fundamental to their overall well-being. For this reason, the right to play and leisure is protected as a universal right in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We’ll explore how the state of play and the overall state of children are related by looking at them across industrialized countries. We’ll consider how children and youth express the right to play as they mature; why the “forgotten” right to leisure matters; and what has to change to unlock new solutions for free, outdoor play and leisure.
