Right To Play Rwanda in 360

SIGN UP FOR UPDATES ON PROGRAMS IN RWANDA
Experience The Power of Learning Through Play
Join us and experience a day in the life of teachers and students in a Right To Play-supported school in Rwanda.
Right To Play has been working in Rwanda for more than 20 years. Since 2014, we’ve been supporting children’s education by training teachers how to incorporate play to make learning fun and engaging.
Tens of thousands of teachers have learned how to use positive discipline in classes instead of relying on corporal punishment, how to develop lessons that encourage girls and boys to participate equally, how to use play to keep students’ attention and boost literacy, numeracy, and holistic learning; and how to support children to develop a lifelong love of learning.
These teachers have and will support millions of learners to achieve academically and develop socio-emotional learning skills and leadership abilities that help them in learning and in life.
We visited a school in Bugesera to meet some of the students and teachers there and play is transforming their experience of teaching and learning. . Join Tonny on his walk to school, play a game with Jean and his class, learn how Redempta stopped using corporal punishment in class, and meet Aurore, a leader in her school’s Girls' Club.
Note: The videos below use YouTube's immersive video player. You can also view them using a VR headset by going to this YouTube link.

Plug in Play: Innovating Education Through Play and Technology
Imagine a classroom where learning is not just about memorizing facts, but about creating, tinkering, and exploring. This is the magic of the Plug in Play project, implemented by Right To Play with support from the LEGO Foundation. In playful, hands-on lessons, 116,000 students are delving into coding, robotics, and engineering, exploring their creativity, and building essential skills like problem solving, collaboration, and innovation – skills that will help them thrive in school and in life.

How Teachers in Rwanda Are Discovering the Power of Play
It’s estimated that by 2030, more than one billion children globally will lack the skills they need to thrive. Most of these children live in low-income countries, where 92% risk reaching adulthood without basic academic and holistic skills. A new teacher training course in Rwanda developed by Right To Play and partners is helping teachers learn how to use playful approaches in the classroom to support students to learn and develop. It’s the first online/offline course of its kind in the country.
