I'm also interested in ideas about play, as well as engaging teenagers who often seem to lack provision of activities (having instead to put up with negative representations of themselves in the media), and space, so am looking at the Children's Play Council.

These people are very interesting:
Blast Theory

The group's work explores interactivity and the relationship between real and virtual space with a particular focus on the social and political aspects of technology.
