Semel HCI Health Equity Seminar: The Role of Play in Health Equity
The Semel Healthy Campus Initiative Center at UCLA is kicking off our Health Equity Seminar series with the virtual movie premiere of PLAYING FOR KEEPS open to all University of California students, faculty, staff, alumni and retirees from October 25 – 27, 2020. The Health Equity Seminar consists of the virtual movie premiere followed by a panel discussion around the role of play in health equity.
PLAYING FOR KEEPS examines the importance of play and downtime for all of us – children, adults, seniors and animals. It is a tapestry of interwoven characters that takes a look at the health benefits of the play state as well as its recent decline in our lives.
