HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE
Play to Learn
The Play to Learn: Humanitarian Play Project’s vision is to establish play-based, early childhood development (ECD) programming as an essential component of humanitarian response. Through the LEGO Foundation’s generous investment, Play to Learn will lay the foundation for transformational change in ECD by generating a set of scalable, replicable, and transportable play-based models and content, conducting rigorous research, and executing a robust advocacy strategy to ensure children affected by future humanitarian crisis receive the quality early childhood development that will enable them to thrive.

BRAC would engage in promoting play based early learning and development and creative strong evidence to support the claim. A strong focus would also be put on ensuring sustainability and exploring possible approaches to advocacy and partnership to support future scale ups. The Yidan Prize fund will be used to innovate further and come up with different high impact and scalable ECD solutions by leveraging the existing knowledge and expertise of the project.

Sustainability of BRAC Play LAB
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources. The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: economic, environmental and social – also known informally as profits, planet and people. The sustainability plan for the BRAC Play Labs will revolve around fees collection and operational sustainability through BIED and/or community and also salvaging the knowledge and abilities of the Play Leaders for labs that may not be operational at the end of the project.
