Gyeonggi-do Women's & Family Foundation Launches Child-Participatory Play Content Development

The Gyeonggi-do Women's & Family Foundation will be recruiting for the 'Children's Play Planning Team' from May 21 to May 29, targeting child care institutions within the province.

The Children's Play Planning Team is a child participation project aimed at promoting children's rights by guaranteeing their right to play and right to participate. It encourages children to collaboratively consider play themes and methods, and to directly participate in the development process of play content.

The target participants are approximately 100 children aged 10 to 12 who are currently enrolled in child care institutions within the province. A total of 16 child care institutions will participate.

Starting with a launch ceremony (scheduled for June 13), the Children's Play Planning Team will participate in a total of 10 play development sessions from June to August, working together with play coordinators dispatched by the foundation. In October, a performance sharing event will be held to present the results of their activities.

For child care institutions interested in participating, the foundation will hold two real-time online information sessions: one at 10:00 a.m. on May 19 and another at 2:00 p.m. on May 20. These sessions will introduce the operation plan for the Children's Play Planning Team, as well as participation and application procedures.

Kim Hyesoon, CEO of the Gyeonggi-do Women's & Family Foundation, stated, "The Children's Play Planning Team is meaningful in that children participate as the main agents in the play content development process." She added, "We hope that developing play content reflecting children's thoughts and experiences will help spread a culture in which children's rights to participate and to play are respected."
