Putting SDG4 into practice: learning through play

Inclusive and equitable education provides all learners with the capabilities to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful societies and enhance individual wellbeing. This technical brief describes how learning through play pedagogies contribute to the holistic development of young children, laying the foundations for lifelong learning. The experiences of VVOB demonstrate how innovative play-based pedagogies can be introduced successfully at the classroom level by creating favourable policy environments and building capacity of pre-service and in-service teacher professional development institutions.
