Right To Play and partners secure a new U.N.-designated International Day of Play
On March 25, the United Nations announced the inauguration of a new International Day of Play that will take place on June 11 every year, beginning in 2024. It was the culmination of a large, global effort led by Right To Play and partner organizations to spotlight the importance of play in children’s lives, learning, and development, and to call attention to the need to protect children’s right to play. Together, partner organizations will engage millions of children, parents, teachers, and decision-makers around the globe on June 11 to celebrate the power of play.
