The team also shares the vision behind the Acadia Centre for Critical Play and why they believe play will be an increasingly important part of how we learn, work and engage with technology in the years ahead.\nProduced by Unbound Media","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/PCS56tfLkkvw_n9IPgTkEvUnTAK_euLHRc54huUocEY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMxNzkzLzE2NTYw/MDExNDUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
