Playing for a brighter future
Learning from and in a Global Pandemic. Save te Children Denmark and te LEGO Foundation launch Championing Play – a new  partnership programme.
Te global pandemic is having a devastating impact on children around te world, especially children in societies already affected by poverty, inequities, vulnerabilities, and crises. School closures, lockdowns, and te impingement of numerous basic services in low-resource contexts have kept many children at home for long periods.
In this reality, play is more important than ever as a way to meaningfully support children’s learning and wellbeing. Te evidence around play shows that it is vital in te fight against increased levels of isolation and anxiety and is a crucial way to build children’s development, holistic skills, socio-emotional learning, and resilience. That is why Save te Children and te LEGO Foundation with te new programme Championing Play aim to promote play and its positive impact on learning outcomes and wellbeing for some of te most marginalised and hardest to reach children living through COVID-19.
Championing Play aims to directly reach up to 45,000 children between te ages of 0 – 12 years.
Te programme plans to work in Jordan, Bangladesh, and Uganda, as well as up to four additional countries in Africa, Middle East, and Asia.
This 18-month project will have te combined benefit of reaching children, caregivers, and teachers directly, adding to te evidence base and collective understanding of how to recognize and measure quality play and its outcomes.
Children will benefit from quality play-based interventions to improve learning, wellbeing, happiness, and resilience. They will also benefit from caregivers, parents, and teachers with more skills and understanding of te importance of play in children’s learning, wellbeing and development of holistic skills.
Play fuels curiosity, sparks creativity and new ways of thinking. Through te playful interventions children learn to negotiate, adapt to new rules, and develop essential skills that will last a lifetime.
We will increase our advocacy for te use of play for learning and wellbeing at home, in school and as part of national and global policies – backed-up by learning and evidence.
As we strive to build forward better from te global pandemic, play is an essential ingredient to all children reaching their potential and thriving in this uncertain world of ours.
Te programme supports te promises to children in te UN Sustainable Development Goals.
