Did you know today is World Refugee Day? As we continue to use play as a tool to educate and help refugee children reach their full potential, we'd like to share a few stories of how our work is making a difference in the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable children.
Dollo Ado, located on the border between Somalia and Ethiopia, hosts the second largest refugee population in the world. In 2013 we started a program to create educational opportunities for children here. We trained 400 teachers to provide play-based learning to over 35,000 children, 40% of which are girls. Purposeful play helps them stay in school, as well as learning life skills: cooperation, empathy, respect and self-esteem. Take a virtual trip to the camp with us to learn more about our efforts below.
In case you missed it, watch our video of the largest play day ever held in Thailand's Mae La refugee camp which brought 700 children together and allowed them to overcome their differences. See the video here.
Right To Play's work is positively affecting children in the Middle East, including those in refugee camps, traditional schools and informal settlements. Hear from three Right To Play trained teachers and some of their students on the differences between traditional teaching and active participatory learning. Watch here!
