Based on these important findings, Suzan describes how the International School of Hamburg incorporates play-based learning into its program and after-school care offer. She explains how play assists teachers in meeting each child's individual needs. The interview concludes with a discussion about the decline of unstructured play in children's lives and the role of parents in encouraging learner agency by providing time, space, and open-ended materials for their children's play.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4IA1yFLR6AF1nscJsALlUa81pv3PTXlICy3zX0HhIqU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ1MzgzLzE3MTEy/MjE4NDItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
