Roundtable discussion
The future can be seen as a world of possibilities, but also as a source of uncertainty.
It takes shape through our dreams, reflections and actions. Free play allows children to explore, experiment and develop their creativity. Their fresh, spontaneous view of the world can also offer us new perspectives on the future.
This panel discussion invites us to take a step back and reflect on our relationship with time and the changes taking place in society.
What do we want to preserve, and what do we want to change? How much importance do we place on free play in fostering children's creativity, encouraging experimentation and supporting their development?
