Learning Through Play
Learning Through Play is an initiative by ASSIST in Kenya to further raise awareness and educate pupils and students (but also adults and teachers) about the GLOBAL GOALS / SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) through an interactive Board Game. The game is designed to be played by pupils and students as young as 6 years old and has no upper age limit. This means that the game can be played simultaneously by people with different age, making the game ideal to be played in school tournaments. It supports the Universal Values, Principle Two: Leave No One Behind. The plan is to involve 100,000 pupils and students, and 5,000 teachers within the next few years.
