Happy #EarthDay! At a Right To Play-supported primary school in Uganda, students have started an environment club. One exciting aspect of the club is an urban garden at their school, created using recycled materials. The garden is a living classroom where children can learn firsthand about environmental stewardship and the importance of protecting our planet. As extreme weather conditions related to climate change intensify in many of the areas where we work, this kind of hands-on education is essential for ensuring children have the skills and knowledge to respond to environmental challenges. You can help foster a generation that is informed, engaged, and ready to make a positive impact on the environment by donating to Right To Play: https://lnkd.in/g3cWSsfb #EarthDay #ClimateEducation #Sustainability #EnvironmentalStewardship #GreenInitiatives #RecycledMaterials #UrbanGardens #ChildAgency #ClimateAction #ProtectOurPlanet

PLAY. It’s at the heart of everything we do. It educates, empowers and protects girls and boys, allowing them to be successful in their own learning and development, and prepares them for their future. We believe in a future for every child driven by opportunity, empowerment and possibility. With programming in over 18 countries, we transform the lives of more than one million children each week inside and outside of the classroom. In addition to our work with children, we advocate with parents, local communities, and governments to advance the fundamental rights of all children.

Play is a powerful tool for encouraging creativity and innovation in children's learning. By using play in the classroom, children develop essential skills that help them think outside the box and approach problems with innovative solutions. On #WorldCreativityAndInnovationDay, we’re celebrating Chantina, a Grade 5 student in Rwanda who developed a smart irrigation system after participating in the Plug in Play program. Programs like Plug in Play are critical in helping kids build the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world, and it’s inspiring to see the ideas that children like Chantina come up with when they’re encouraged in their learning.

Voice. Choice. Ownership. A key component of Right To Play programming is ensuring that children’s agency is respected and protected. When learning is treated as a collaboration between child and adult, it builds trust and mutual respect, and encourages children to be active participants in their play and learning.

Investing in girls' education creates a ripple effect that transforms communities. When a girl's literacy is supported, it opens doors to educational and professional opportunities that were previously inaccessible. However, many girls are denied access to education, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality. By prioritizing aid and ensuring access to education, we empower girls to claim their rights and become catalysts for change. Educated girls are more likely to advocate for their rights, make informed decisions about their lives, and become leaders who drive progress for future generations. Supporting girls' education is an investment in a brighter, more equitable world for all. #AidWorks

When teachers use play intentionally in their lessons, children connect with their learning in a way that is comfortable and familiar to them. Play-based learning takes the regular characteristics of play, but uses them with a purpose, helping children to understand and retain lessons on a deeper level. For 25 years, we’ve been harnessing the power of play to support children’s education and development. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gu3-Vyy7 #RightToPlay #PlayBased #PlayBasedLearning #PowerOfPlay
