Come and Join Us! Community Event for Children and Adults.

Free community event for children with their parents and carers and people who work with young children.

We are holding an open house session at Tarner Children's Centre on Saturday 25th February from 10.30am to 12.30pm. We are returning to one of our favourite themes; challenging gender issues and stereotyping in children's play. The rooms will be set up with play resources for young children to enjoy with their grown ups. We shall play, chat and explore the issues through the morning.

Looking through our gender issues and children archive we have visited this topic many times over the years. Our gender issues and children group was set up in 1991. We shall show off our folders of clippings and cuttings, collected over the years...some issues have never gone away!  We shall bring the archive out for the session, any students of gender politics may be especially interested.

Our theme in our outreach and drop-in sessions next half term will be emotional literacy; look out for postings here on the website. This is especially important when planning activities for children...do we have different expectations for boys and girls, women and men?
