The UN (United Nations) Convention on the Rights of the Child confirms the right to play as a universal right for children. But it is often overlooked, and sometimes referred to as “the forgotten article” of the convention. Play is – however – invaluable in life, leisure, and enterprise. June 11th, 2024 will now be the world‘s first International Day of Play and will provide an opportunity to share expertise, focus resources and magnify communication and advocacy activity.
