Little Steps, Big Futures:The Podcast
Play Is a Right, Not a Reward
In this episode, Aoife and Jenny dive into the UN’s new International Day of Play and why it’s more than just a celebration. They discuss play as a fundamental right, not a luxury, and explore why it's still being overlooked around the world. While applauding the UN for spotlighting play, they also ask the big question: why do we even need a day to remind the world? Join them as they unpack what play truly means for childhood, development, and global equality.
