Heather Bernt-Santy, host of the popular podcast, “That Early Childhood Nerd,” lead another lively conversation on August 26, 2026 about what steps we can all take to protect children’s right to play – wherever they live in the world. Heather welcomed two more presenters from the December, 2025 Exchange “Protecting Play” online conference – Nicol Russell and Mike Huber, along with two play advocates from the World Forum community – Swati Kela and Bilkish Vawda.
“Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression, and constructive problem-solving. It’s how children wrestle with life to make it meaningful.”
