Deadline: 25 June 2014
Open to: all individuals, organizations, and partnerships from around the world who are using play or playful approaches to enrich learning
Prize: total of $200,000 in prizes
Description
Children and young people need to better develop creativity, imaginative problem-solving, teamwork, empathy, and inspiration so they can step into leadership roles in pursuit of purpose. Play is one of the brain’s favorite ways of learning. Why not encourage more playful, enthusiastic learning everywhere we can?
Re-Imagine Learning Challenge has been designed to allow everyone to contribute, connect and benefit. If you’re designing environments where kids and adults learn through play, whether at home, in a classroom or on a playground, share your ideas and energy wherever you are: submit a proposal, comment in an online conversation on Twitter and Facebook, or attend one of the face-to-face meetups around the world.
As you share your ideas you will be given a personalized feedback and support to help bring your vision for change to life. You will be also welcomed into a global network of like-minded parents, educators, administrators, and social entrepreneurs—both online and on the ground—who are challenging the conventions of learning because changemaking can’t wait for future generations.
Eligibility
This challenge is open to all individuals, organizations, and partnerships from around the world who are using play or playful approaches to enrich learning.
Prize

Online competition submissions are accepted until 5 p.m. EST on 25 June 2014. Register on the official website and enter the competition yourself or nominate someone.
