Youth Charter joins UNICEF in celebrating International Day of Play

LONDON – The Youth Charter has joined hands with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in celebrating the International Day of Play under the global theme “Choose Play – Every Day.” This important occasion highlights the critical role of play as a universal right for children and young people, and a vital catalyst for global change. In solidarity with young people worldwide, the Youth Charter is reaffirming its commitment to ensuring play is recognised, protected, and prioritised in the daily lives of children.
This year’s theme serves as a powerful reminder to governments, corporations, educators, families, and communities to take collective action in supporting the physical, mental, emotional, and social development of youth through play. Far from being a luxury, play is essential in nurturing creativity, resilience, and inclusion, particularly during times of hardship and adversity.
The Youth Charter continues to lead with its Global Call to Action, first launched at the UN Summit of the Future, advocating for sport, art, culture, and digital innovation as key instruments of development and peace in the lives of children and young people. These pillars are central to the organisation’s global programmes and initiatives.……Full story on www.masvingomirror.com
