Right To Play

Congratulations to RIGHT TO PLAY RWANDA who just certified more than 750 primary school teachers in play-based teaching techniques that will make learning more fun and engaging for students.

In Ghana, we're working with our partners, including the Ministry of Education, to provide more children with a quality education, using play to keep them engaged in the classroom and to develop a lifelong love of learning.   More: https://lnkd.in/g33JXxKP

1 in every 6 children lives in a region affected by violence. Play helps those children hold onto hope, and gives them a chance to find their inner strength, so they can turn an uncertain future into a brighter one.

On October 9, we’re so excited to present the 9th annual Heroes Gala in downtown Toronto! The Heroes Gala is an impactful evening of inspiration and hope, where we bring together heroes of our movement to celebrate our impact and raise critical funds for the children and youth we support in Canada and around the world! This inspiring evening is all about recognizing the power of play to help children rise above adversity and create brighter futures. Join us, be inspired and leaving feeling like a hero yourself!

Since 2021, with support from The LEGO Foundation in partnership with the Ghana Ministry of Education, we have trained over 18,300 primary school teachers in Ghana to use playful approaches in their lessons and make learning more engaging, inclusive and meaningful for students.   The result is that students are returning to the classroom excited and eager to learn.   Find out how we’re energizing education in Ghana: https://lnkd.in/g33JXxKP

Hakizimana is claiming his right to equal participation. Because of his disability, he struggled with low self-esteem and wasn't able to participate in many school activities. With the support of teachers who encouraged him, his confidence grew, and he has now become a leader in his school. https://lnkd.in/gNdKrMAr #Tanzania #Burundi #Displacement

As children in much of the world begin a new school year, we are celebrating #WorldLiteracyDay.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn. #Literacy #Tanzania

Last year, we worked with our partners in Ghana to train 48,000 kindergarten teachers, so that they could more effectively engage their students. Playful activities like alphabet hopscotch help teachers reach children at their level, so they can learn their letters, numbers, socio-emotional skills, and a develop of love of learning itself.
