About the event

Tim Gill is a global advocate for children’s outdoor play and mobility. He is the author of Urban Playground: How child-friendly planning and design can save cities, and No Fear: Growing up in a risk averse society. His website is rethinkingchildhood.com. 

Tim’s talk will show how planning, design and culture change can create healthier, greener, more liveable neighbourhoods, and why a ‘children’s lens’ is a powerful catalyst for change in towns and cities.  

Dr Dimity Williams is a mother, nature lover and family doctor. She is the author of Nature, Our Medicine: How the natural world sustains us. Passionate about integrating nature into health care, Dimity delights in issuing nature prescriptions and believes nature play is essential for children. She is a co-founder of the Kids in Nature Network.

Presented by Kids in Nature Network in collaboration with Eco Learning Network and Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, learn and play.

We thank them for sharing their culture and knowledge through stories, language, art and song.

We recognise the important role they have played for thousands of years and continue to play in caring for the land and waterways.  We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
