Possibilities of outdoor play Feat. Steve Kanowski

In Season 2, Episode 3 of Play it Forward, Lukas welcomes Principal of Berrinba East State School, Super Steve Kanowski into the studio for a deeply inspiring chat about Steve’s unique approach to education. During a time when many people were practicing caution within the community, he decided to be brave by implementing outdoor learning and loose parts play - the results were incredible. As a leader within his school, he has shown his commitment to childhood development by creating an environment to foster exploration and challenge, not only in his students but also within his faculty.

Lukas and Steve talk about the inclusivity of loose parts play and its impact in low socio-economic areas, empowering children with risk-mitigation strategies, outdoor play contributing to children’s well-being and language skills, collaborating with kids in goal setting, the massive role of a diverse community in education, and a whole lot more!
