Mpho Tsele is Play Africa’s Play and Learning Supervisor, She oversees all play and learning initiatives and directs the Youth Work Readiness Initiative, training previously unemployed youth in play and learning methodologies. Play Africa is an independent children’s museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. Their approach to public learning disrupts the idea of what a “museum” can be. They catalyse innovations in creative learning, children’s rights, parent engagement and social cohesion. Play Africa’s original exhibits and programmes are designed to support children’s cognitive, emotional, social and physical development.
In this conversation Mpho will discuss the importance of being an advocate of inclusion in all aspects of your life. She will share with us what is the true meaning of inclusion. Mpho will demonstrate why listening to the children and letting them lead the play is at the chore of Play Africa. She will also explain why children must be seen and included as citizens. Our guest will share with us why failure should be seen as a learning and teaching opportunity and the importance of acknowledging children as dignified human beings.
