Did you know that there is a National Institute of Play? More importantly, did you know that its founder, Dr. Stuart Brown, studied the lives of murderers before dedicating his life to promoting play in children and adults alike? This talk stirringly demonstrates the paramount importance of play for the formation of emotionally vibrant individuals. As playgrounds were figuratively wiped off the maps by a global onslaught of the coronavirus, Pooja Rai narrates how her team designed solutions to prevent the cognitive and emotional development of underprivileged children from coming to a standstill.
