The Real Play Coalition is a non-profit alliance between UNICEF, National Geographic, Arup, IKEA and LEGO Foundation. Its ambition is to create a movement that will narrow the play gap for 100 million children by 2030; making play globally accessible, integrated and inclusive. Play is critical for children’s well-being and skills development and we can all play a role in building more playful communities. Through this Challenge, you can start a new project to create more playful experiences for children in your community, school or neighbourhood.
