Giving Childhood Back, One Playground at a Time
王秀娟 Chair, Taiwan Parks & Playgrounds for Children by Children (TWPfC)
The first regular meeting of the new Rotary year welcomes 王秀娟, chair of Taiwan Parks & Playgrounds for Children by Children (TWPfC), to share more than a decade of hands-on experience championing distinctive playgrounds and the right of children to play.
What began as one mother's concern grew into influence over public space planning and redesign across Taiwan. What 王秀娟 and her team have been pushing is not simply park construction — it is a public conversation about how children grow, how communities participate and what cities should look like in the future.
Topics we'll explore
- Why a single playground can start social change
- How childhood in Taiwan is shifting
- Play space as a link between family, community and city
