Learn. | Connect. | Challenge. | Have fun!

Welcome to PARS 2023, where the international PARS playwork community comes together to connect with each other and academics and practitioners from other disciplines. We challenge ourselves to learn more about PARS playwork practice and our own approach to children and childhood. But we make sure that we don't take ourselves too seriously whilst we are doing it - PARS conferences have a reputation of being fun, friendly places to spend 12 hours!
