Play is recognised as an excellent way for children to learn about the world around them and to learn cultural values. Through play children and young people not only learn about the world and themselves, but also about differences in other people.

World Jungle's Global Play Project will enable children and young people to have the opportunity to explore cultural diversity in fun and exciting ways.

Workshop at the Bristol Academy for Playworkers
  • Hands-on cultural play experiences for children and young people which are age appropriate and inclusive.
  • Practical support to play providers on how to consider these issues within their settings.
  • The development of a resource guide for use by play workers and other professionals working with children and young people on how to explore cultural diversity in fun and exciting ways.

  • An opportunity to test different games and play experiences in new environments and with specialist play workers.
  • Resources and training for those wanting to develop Global Play within play schemes, the community or in school settings.
