PLAYING NGO
PLAYING is a non-profit organization, established in 2013, for the promotion of play in childhood and the advocacy of children's right to play, supporting their motor, cognitive, emotional, social development and their physical and mental health. PLAYING aims at changing the culture around play, through raising awareness, education and support for parents, teachers and community services, as well as through shared play events for parents and children.
Playing is collaborating with professionals from various scientific fields depending on the project (social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, and teachers).
