Junky Monkey and Greg Gurau
Bio
Junky Monkeys are specialists in loose parts play within Aotearoa, and are run by play advocate Kate Webber. They’ve worked with hundreds of schools across Tāmaki Makaurau giving them the experience of what loose parts play looks like and supporting them to activate their own loose parts play programmes. Greg Gurau is otherwise known as ‘The Magic Play Box Guy’. Greg has been empowering schools across Aotearoa by helping them start their own loose parts offering and supplying them with resources. His toolbelt is full of hands-on experience and research collected from 10 years of working across the sport, education, and play sector.
This is a hands-on collaborative workshop with two passionate play advocates, sharing their love of loose parts play. This will be a hands-on workshop where participants get to see and play with large amounts of loose parts first hand. You will leave this workshop with a greater knowledge of why loose parts play is important, and how to activate your own loose parts programme.
