The World Forum Foundation is a \n organizations where Early Childhood Professionals and Researchers from around the world can share ideas and discuss trend and topics within the field. There are members in over 80 countries around the world who meet both regionally and at a world conference.
The foundation is a host to many projects. One project that is interesting to me is the Working Group on Play. The group was started in 2009 and is comprised of 16 people from 10 different countries. The group meets to discuss four basic areas:explaining play, the influence of schools and home life on play, the influence of media and corporate cultures on play, and the role of gender and diversity on play. Play is vital to learning and the group supports each other is this thought.
I've always been intrigued by how much a child can learn through play and was very happy to know that this is a topic being discusses by professionals around the world. I intend to contact the forum and find out how I can become involved with this working group.
