Utilising a range of voices, it brings together perspectives from the United States of America, Australia, England, New Zealand, Singapore, Slovenia, Germany, Ireland, Finland, Turkey, Italy, Canada, and South Africa, to explore issues such as the enablers and opportunities afforded by risky outdoor play. With diminished opportunities for children to engage in free play in the great outdoors and connect with nature, there has never been a more important time to examine this topic in greater detail. By unifying voices from across the globe, this book seeks to empower each child’s right to learn and develop naturally in risky outdoor play.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xxmsonormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eProfessor Tonia Gray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;\"\u003e teaches in the School of Education and a senior researcher in the Centre for Educational Research and the World Leisure Centre for Excellence, Western Sydney University, Australia.
