From the playground to the podium
We’re obsessed with getting kids moving again.
The Playground Project is a UAE-based international advisory with an action agenda.
We work with schools, governments, foundations and sports to rethink and build effective sport participation systems at all levels . . . from the playground to the podium.
By integrating the power of sport with the magic of play, we are on a mission to ignite a lifelong love of sport and physical activity in our youth; unlocking joy, building healthier communities and fostering human connection.
Our work is guided by six principles:
FUN FIRST
We Believe fun is a key ingredient for developing a lifelong love of physical activity
AWESOME EXPERIENCES
We strive to create unforgettable experiences for kids that just so happen to make them healthier
BALANCE IS BETTER
Our programs emphasize broad motor skill development to complement sport specialization and promote well-rounded growth
WE ALL HAVE WINGS
We're in the business of helping kids to unlock their potential and to break down barriers
RETURN TO COMMUNITY
We measure success on how our communities benefit. An impactful return to community is the ultimate return on investment
PLAYGROUND POWER
Sport and physical activity enhance all aspects of a child's development: academic performance, mental wellbeing, physical health and social connection. Everything a child does in the playground, makes everything outside the playground better
