The Human in Me Sees the Human in You: Sana Alimohamed on How Play Builds Community

Farhan Quasem Season 1 Episode 4

In this episode, I have an invigorating conversation with Sana Alimohamed - playful learning designer working at Duara Education, Master’s Student in Interactive Telecommunications (ITP) at NYU, and advocate for inclusive, curiosity-driven education. 🎙️✨

Sana shares her incredible journey from neuroscience to storytelling to designing learning experiences that center play, trust, and human connection. We dive deep into:

🎭 The power of play in education and why shared silliness is a must.

🌍 Building trust across cultures and creating inclusive learning spaces.

💡 Rethinking traditional learning—why education should be joyful, not rigid.

Her approach? Make learning engaging, make it human, and never underestimate the power of play.
