On Thursday morning Therese Ruane Mayo CYPSC Coordinator and Mary Skillington of GMIT Mayo Early Childhood Education and Care dropped into the studio to chat to Tommy about an upcoming conference (Saturday March 24th) that aims to be an "immersive day of talks, workshops and walkshops will explore children’s opportunities for play outdoors in all settings—at home, at school, in child care, the community and nature."

Find out more about the details and how to register here www.turningplayinsideout.ie and listen back to the conversation as Mary, Therese, Tommy and our listeners reflected on their own childhoods spending far more time outdoors playing than children do in the twenty-first century.
