P4Play People, Place, and Practice for Play
P4Play is one of the EU's Horizon2020, Marie Sklodowska-Curie action projects to start a European Joint Doctorate (EJD). The coordinator of the project is University College Cork (Ireland), LTU, the other partners are Queen Margret University, Edingburough (Scotland) and Zurich Hochschule fur Angewandte Wissenschaften (Switzerland).
In the project, a total of 8 doctoral students will be employed, 2 of them at LTU. The overall research objective is to develop new knowledge about play and play deprivation, the effects of physical, socio-cultural and political influence on opportunities for play and the development of innovative solutions to address barriers and to provide solutions to enable play in different environments to benefit children, families and communities. The P4Play program addresses four areas: play as an activity, how policy affects the opportunity for play, different places for play and to work with play in rehabilitation. The project will establish the first innovative trans-European occupational therapy graduate program dedicated to the activity of play.
