Resistance stories: Telling and sharing stories about children’s right to play
Our research project is in partnership with the Froebel Trust who are a charity that funds research into education and learning in the early years of childhood. In our project, we are looking at how educators enable children’s play through resisting more formal approaches to learning.
This project will seek to define and understand these ‘acts of resistance’ which have to date been under-researched in how they are enacted. From understanding how materials, time and space is made for children to play, this project aims to contribute to our knowledge of early childhood practices that are resistant to formalisation.
