International Day of Play
We observed the first ever International Day of Play on 11 June 2024, as a celebration of play, it’s benefits and it’s role in pushing potential in all individuals, regardless of age.
Beyond mere recreation, it is a universal language spoken by people of all ages, transcending national, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries. This shared passion fosters a sense of community and national pride…
It also fosters resilience, creativity, and innovation in individuals.
PlayForward 2024
…celebrated (and launched!) the first Inaugural UN International Day of Play in Singapore, transforming the idea of play in professional and educational settings. We welcomed business leaders, innovators, educators, and professionals interested in unlocking the full potential of serious play in professional and personal lives and invited participants to dive into the fun and discover how serious play drives professional and personal development through:
Play is Serious Business

Play is a Serious Affair
In today’s hustle-bustle world, play often gets a bad rap as something trivial or unproductive. But guess what? Tons of research and real-world examples show that play is a secret superpower for achieving organisational outcomes, innovation, learning, well-being, and social connection.
Play Forward 2024 was a transformative event filled with serious fun, inspiring ideas, unlocking these golden insights, and creating meaningful connections. The overwhelming demand at Play Forward shows that play is not just child’s play, but a vital ingredient for progress.
