Introduction to an article in The Guardian talking about the Conservatives initiative on children – More Ball Games (they haven’t heard of LocoMatrix yet) earlier this month.
“Tim Gill, one of the experts who guided David Willetts’s panel on childhood, routinely asks people to recall their most vivid memories of growing up. Such events usually took place outdoors and were not observed by adults.
That sort of insight is intended to be the point of More Ball Games, yesterday’s report from the shadow universities minister which David Cameron embraced with a leader’s speech and a visit to the Charles Dickens primary school in Southwark, south London.”
