The United Nations has designated June 11 as the official International Day of Play!
Learn more about the efforts behind establishing this day, the contributing authors and organizations, and the Call to Action to help make play a reality around the globe by visiting InternationalDayofPlay.org.
“While the resolution to designate a ’day of play’ marks an important milestone, we acknowledge that the real work lies in translating this symbolic gesture into meaningful action on the ground. Ensuring the meaningful celebration of this day requires sustained commitment and concerted efforts to address the underlying barriers to play faced by children worldwide.”
