Play and Young People’s Liberation for a Better World

Join us for a Sunday Platform talk with Yoni Kallai.

Young people want to play whenever their basic needs are met, and yet play is often seen as unimportant. In this talk, Yoni will invite the audience to connect to their inner child, think about the children in their lives, the play opportunities they have, and what we can do. All will be connected to real stories, pictures, and videos from the Yard.

Where: In-Person (RSVP HERE FOR IN-PERSON) at 269 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
&  Zoom* (RSVP HERE FOR VIRTUAL)
