About this event

Join Prof. Michael Duncan of Coventry University’s Centre for Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Sciences and Dr Amy Stringer to discover the results of her pioneering PhD study into how play space design can benefit the physical literacy and fundamental movement skills of children.

Together with contributions from Sport England, master developer Urban&Civic, play equipment specialist Jupiter Play and landscape architects Bradley Murphy Design, we’ll also explore the importance of embedding principles of physical literacy into delivering great places.
