Feedback from training 24-26 Jun 11

The Play Team Association

Feedback from training

24-26 June 11

Very inspiring, accepting and non-judgemental atmosphere.  Caring “leaders”

Looking forward to staying involved with the Play Team – I have felt very welcome

Tuned in for my “inner child”

I loved the support, freedom and care that was provided by Anna, Judith and Susy.  All are very sensitive to our individual needs.  The space, time etc. to be free, me and accepted was/is just liberating

Difficult to find – better signs? (Of the venue)

Didn’t like the venue to start with but as the time passed it grew on me and was somehow perfect for the course

Very supportive and very professional

I have found the whole 3 days very supportive and inspirational. Lots of food for thought.  There was a nice balance of play and theory.  Venue hard to find but was nice and quiet which aided the course.  The facilitators each added value and had own stance which worked well together

Enjoyed meeting new people and learning new skills.  A great experience especially discovering the fun of ‘play’ again and rediscovering my ‘inner’ child.  Fantastic teaching – invaluable

Fantastic tutors, very informal yet delivered the course in a fun, informative, inspiring way!

Instructors are very friendly and so knowledgeable.  Pleasure to meet and real inspirations!

Muddle with paperwork – maybe hand out just the assessment criteria sheets and provide plain paper.  What a muddle we got into.

Felt the forms were overcomplicated and confusing.  Don’t feel that the log sheets were needed and it would have been helpful to have an instruction sheet.

Fantastic.  Opened my eyes. Food for thought.  Loved the play, creativity and spontaneity.  Great people.

Would prefer to pay a bit more and have lunch provided.

A really great experience has enabled me to see, feel and think about my world from a child’s view.

As this is the outcome of our child directed play sessions, this  is very relevant to the way we present our work as grounded in a high level of [...]

Daily Life of Art by Nina Wise

May 19, 2010

Since the inception of the human species and until only decades ago, daily life was infused with art making. We crafted our own tools, we sewed our own clothing, we built our own shelters, we cultivated our own food. We sang songs that we made up, songs that were passed down to us, and songs [...]
