Movie Screening: Where Do the Children Play?
Join us as we and Philadelphia Community Farm present a sneak preview of Where Do the Children Play? a PBS documentary, book, and outreach project about the vital importance of open-ended creative play for the healthy development of children. This documentary film was inspired by Elizabeth Goodenough's book Secret Spaces of Childhood(University of Michigan Press, 2003). Goodenough, a scholar in the emerging field of children's studies, noted that time outside school was increasingly filled with adult-organized activities and indoor screen-time. Children no longer had the space or opportunity to organize their own play or discover their own secret spaces. Goodenough and the Alliance for Childhood, a non-profit research and advocacy organization working to improve children's health and well-being, began collaborating on a public awareness campaign using the film project to inspire concern and action for children's play.
