We're Making Room For Play This Winter And We Want To Help You Too!

Did you know research points to a direct correlation between play and stress reduction? We want to play and reduce stress with you this winter! We're looking to partner with YOU to do a play pop-up! Check out the play pop-up micro grant opportunity here, thanks to support from the Remake Learning Network's Great Remake! Anyone can apply, so don't miss out on this play pop-up opportunity!

Friday December 14th is the application deadline for our Play for Change grant (open to attendees at our UnConference: Play for Change) and we'll be sharing information about the grant recipients and their projects over the next six months, so stay tuned!

We have many exciting announcements coming up in the new year, so don't forget to stay connected to us through this newsletter, our website, our social media accounts and the Recess Advocacy Team newsletter too!

Yours in play,
The Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative
