Live at Southbank Centre: Childhood

Free Thinking

Available for over a year

Frank Field MP, child psychologist Dickon Bevington and authors Meg Rosoff and Philip Ridley join Philip Dodd for a discussion about different aspects of childhood. What is childhood? What do we remember of it ? It can be a golden time or a time which scars us. How do we encourage a child's imagination to develop ? Producer Neil Trevithick Radio 3 is broadcasting live from a pop-up studio at London's Southbank Centre all day every day for the last two weeks of March. If you're in the area, visit the Radio 3 studio and performance space in the Royal Festival Hall Riverside Café to listen to Radio 3, ask questions and enjoy the special events.
