Global School
Play Day is an ad-hoc leadership team of educators
inspired by Dr. Peter Gray's research on the decline of play and
the adverse psychological, emotional and physical effects this has
had on children. They continue to be a shoestring operation,
promoting almost entirely through Twitter, Facebook and occasional
spots on educational podcasts. No fees are collected and GSPD is
entirely free. In 2015 there were over 60K children who
participated on six continents - this past year the number
approached 400K!
