Play in Education

In play, we learn how to learn.

Dr. Brian Sutton Smith

How can we approach this "uncertain world" within the paradigm dominated by knowledge supremacy? How can we develop a more "improvisational learning" approach?


Embrace the catalytic power of play in learning.


A playful mindset fosters resilience, innovation, and creativity in individuals of all ages. Play is the medicine that can help us explore our world’s problems and challenges and help us to discover and create new solutions and new ways forward.


Play  enables people to shift their minds from certainty to curiosity, allowing learning and discovery to take off.


The integration of more play in learning opens us up to better ways of creating systems to experiment and explore holistically for human development.
