Yes fun is key for children! But fun is important to learning from the playground all the way to research careers and beyond. In my doctoral study I unpack why fun matters. @OUGradSch @Cambridge_Uni @GroupRumpus @CambridgeCandI #WhatsFunGotToDoWithIt? theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun…

World Vision Zambia is implementing “The Learning Through Play” project, to help enrich learning and develop key skills such as curiosity, expression, experimentation, and teamwork. #InternationalDayofEducation #LearningThroughPlay #QualityEducation #Transformingchildrenslives
'in a future syllabus, I’d love to put joy, courage, compassion, confidence, vulnerability into the course learning goals! ' - great idea!

Great to see this tweet getting so much love
In 2023 I wanna find colleagues in academia who are healthy people. people who prioritize fun, joy, rest, pleasure, passion, peace & love. And this is no shade to the academics who spend every waking hour being productive. That’s just not the life I want. There’s another way.

What makes me GLAD isn't going to all be academia-related but aspects that contribute to my overall happiness/mental well-being.

Does anyone else journal as they're moving through their PhD? #AcademicChatter Been doing weekly reflections & I've started incorporating GLAD (h/t Abida Haque), thinking about the week past where I'm grateful, achieved something, learned something, & found delight.
