Learning through play during COVID-19

This web event — part of our COVID-19 webinar series — highlighted how EiE practitioners can use “learning through play” approaches during COVID-19 response and recovery. The discussion focused on how play can be used to foster social emotional learning (SEL) in addition to academics. Panelists provided an overview of how they are adapting existing learning through play responses to the COVID-19 context in a variety of settings and how others can integrate similar approaches in their work during the pandemic, whether through distance learning or as in-classroom instruction resumes. The webinar provided an opportunity for a wider discussion with INEE members through a moderated Q&A.

Q&A from the webinar can be found here.
