SUMMARY:Making the Grade in Global Education: Unlocking the Power of Play
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking the Power of Play marked the debut of AKFC’s new event series\, Making the Grade in Global Education. Several youth leaders and trainers from Right To Play gathered in Ottawa to demonstrate the games and activities they use to educate children and youth\, both in Canada and abroad. \nFollowing the live demonstrations\, three knowledgeable speakers took the stage to discuss the effectiveness of play-based learning: Amina Mwitu\, Program Director for the Madrasa Early Childhood Program\, Dennis Bright\, African Policy Director for Right To Play and Louise Zimanyi\, Early Childhood Development Advisor at the Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning. The panelists shared a wide range of perspectives\, from how teachers are trained to play and how child-centred learning fosters the development of a child’s language and social skills. \nOver 130 guests attended the event in person and via webcast. The discussion was moderated by Kristy Kirkup¸ a journalist for CBC News in Ottawa. \nThank you for joining us\nJoin the conversation: #GlobalEd2014\nSee what participants had to say: View the story “Unlocking the Power of Play” on Storify \nTo join the conversation\, use the hashtag #GlobalEd2014 on Twitter. \nWatch the webcast\nThe event is now available online for anyone who could not attend. \n \nLearn more about early childhood development\nInvesting in quality education is proven to enhance a person’s quality of life.
