Dr. Lee co-hosts the AOP10 Project Leadership Group meeting in Seoul

With Professor Justin Jeon at Yonsei University, Dr. Lee co-hosted the AOP10 Project Leadership Group meeting in Seoul from December 7-9, 2024.

Initiated by Professor Mark Tremblay at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario-Research Institute, Dr. Louise de Lannoy, Executive Director with Outdoor Play Canada, and Dr. Eun-Young Lee at Queen’s University, AOP10 Project is to update the successful 2015 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play that served as a galvanizing force for the outdoor play sector in Canada and inspiration for stakeholders globally.

This 3-day meeting was led by the executive team for this project: OPC Executive Director, Dr. Louise de Lannoy, OPC President, Dr. Mark Tremblay and OPC Secretary, Dr. Eun-Young Lee and involved the 10-yr anniversary global leadership group with representatives from every continent, including: Dina Adjei Boadi (Ghana), Isabel de Barros (Brazil), Scott Duncan (New Zealand), Laerke Groenfeldt (Denmark), Maeghan James (Canada), Robyn Monro Miller (Australia), Leigh Vanderloo (Canada), and Po-Yu Wang (Taiwan).

During the meeting, an international Leadership Group comprising 11 researchers and thought leaders representing every inhabited continent convened to evaluate the current state of evidence and collaboratively draft the updated 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play!

There is a ton of work ongoing in relation to this project and we are excited for the official launch of the updated position statement on September 25th at the Breath of Fresh Air Summit in Ottawa.
