Summary: Participating classrooms search, present and discuss ancient and modern toys, dolls and play activities and the socio-cultural contexts in which they occur.
Description: Paricipating classrooms are invited to explore their own toys and play activities and the play heritage of their communities and present to the world a technical sheet containing full descriptions of the play things and any additional relevant information related to their make, the way they are used, their symbols, the messages they convey and the cultural backgrounds in which they are used. Participants are encouraged to discuss their findings and exchange not only information but toys and games as well whenever it’s possible.
