How to treat sensitive topics for children and carry out preventive actions in a fun and participatory way? How to promote active education for children in priority neighborhoods?
Inspired by many years of experience abroad in the development of socio-sports activities for children, PLAY International supports the establishment of prevention and awareness programs using sport and games as educational levers to address social issues and health conditions encountered by children in France.

I regularly train my teams and help them set up sessions that raise children’s awareness of subjects that are sometimes not very easy to tackle. In 2018, a weekly session was organized over a 6-week period, then we scheduled a meeting at the end of the cycle with two other schools. This enabled playground conflicts to be reduced and the presence of girls and the very young to be increased in playground activities. Using games and sport to talk about certain topics enables all children to express themselves, which they don’t really do during debates between children. Education through sport enables children to develop their knowledge of a subject while playing. Amusement enables a subject to be addressed in a fun way so that it becomesmore pertinent.

Not that it actually changes representations, but I feel like making students think about these issues through games and making them debate and discuss is a progress for any educator or teacher.
