Transforming Classrooms through Art Celebrating CollabAction at Play - Issue #25 Guest Curator Saturday Art Class

For kids, play isn’t just a game, it’s their whole world. It’s where they laugh till their cheeks hurt, fall and get back up, and feel free like nothing else matters. Play is their way of exploring the world and discovering hidden strengths they didn’t even know they had. 'Voices of Play'" wasn’t just about hearing their voices, it was a powerful reminder to us all. As adults, it’s our responsibility to create spaces where play thrives, where every fall is met with encouragement, and where every game becomes a memory that lasts a lifetime. When they play, they truly shine. When they play, they dream, they learn, they grow. #VoicesOfPlay #LetThemPlay #PowerOfPlay Shiksharth Samanta Foundation Umoya Sports SwaTaleem Foundation Aatman Academy, Thane rZamba Ladakh Bhumi REACH India Collective EkStep Foundation
