International webinar co-hosted by
COFACE Families Europe and Mattel
On the 11th June 2025 from 4 PM – 5.30 PM CET (Brussels time) and on the occasion of the International Day of Play, this webinar will explore how play can help future generations to rebuild connections and restore happiness. Play is a recognised universal right (UNCRC Article 31), but is also a critical pathway to well-being, connection, and creativity. This is especially relevant in our increasingly disconnected and stressful lives.
The webinar will gather key stakeholders from United Nations, European institutions, national decision-makers, civil society and industry, in a discussion about the benefits of play for children and families. The event will mark this second edition of the UN International Day of Play.
