GDI for Refugee Children: Exploring Portable Play—Support Child Development & Healing Roundtable (Virtual)

Through our own experiences and collaborations with partners and communities, we recognize the need for play environments that are interactive, transportable, and non-permanent to be community inclusive, socially healing, replicable, and scalable. Play can take many shapes and forms; in the same way, portable play is less of a fixed definition but more like a lens to allow multiple interpretations. We are excited to hear the different answers and engage more people in this conversation.

On February 28th at 6:00 pm (EST), we will host a virtual roundtable to kick off this initiative, during which you will discuss the therapeutic aspects of play in the context of refugee camps, addressing design drivers and potential challenges.
