Moths to a Flame at COP26
We have been part of creating a mass participation art installation for COP26 called Moths to a Flame. We have been running workshops with children in Scotland to ensure they have their say in the upcoming conference. Find out more about the workshops by watching our short film below.
The exhibition will be open and free to the public at Glasgow Botanic Gardens every day of COP26 from 12:00 – 4:00 pm – last admission will be at 3:30pm.
Alternatively, you can watch a live stream of the exhibition for 15 minutes each day at 12:30pm. Find out more by clicking this link.
Podcast: Play and Active Travel
The latest episode of our podcast is live and ready to be downloaded!
This month we are discussing how play can be used to support active travel and lead to better outcomes for all children.
To explore this we will be hearing from Naomi Wright from the Art and Energy Collective, Robyn Warburton from Paths for All, and Emily Ryder from Play Together On Pedals.

Working with Save the Children and the Beano we have designed a bumper pack filled with loads of ideas on how to play and have fun outdoors. It can be seen here Play Well Outdoors Pack – Play Scotland.
