Lessons From the Ground: Transforming Classrooms Through Conscious Play®
The Opentree Foundation (TOF), a non-profit organization based in Maharashtra, India, has been championing play-integrated learning for over 20 years.
Through its flagship initiative Toybank – Development through Play, and its scalable Conscious Play® approach, TOF impacts 200,000 children annually in under-resourced schools, providing them with the life skills they need to grow up in a world that is increasingly uncertain and complex.
The Conscious Play® model is designed to be resource-sensitive and replicable, especially for underserved contexts. This is not a parallel system, it is a plug-in model that enhances what’s already there.
