BRIDGE held its first PLAY focused Special Interest Group (SIG) session on Thursday 02 February 2023, which highlighted the need for collaboration by hosting a group of Early Childhood Development (ECD) experts involved in PLAY to explore their own collaborative journeys and identify how they can collaborate better in future. The closed CoP for those in the special interest group explored collaboration enablers and challenges through practical examples and case studies from participants, as well as a special input on ways to track the progress and impact of collaborative projects.
