“This conference was an inspiring and insightful experience! The focus on Learning Through Play truly highlighted the power of engaging, hands-on experiences in fostering deeper understanding and meaningful connections for students. The sessions provided practical strategies to integrate play-based learning effectively within the IPC framework, reinforcing its role in nurturing creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking Connecting with like-minded educators from around the world made the experience even more enriching I left feeling empowered with new ideas to enhance learning in a way that is both joyful and impactful.”
