Job Description
PlayMatters
reimagines childhood for refugees. It will bring play-based learning to
800,000 children across Ethiopia, Uganda, and Tanzania. It will
redefine education and cultivate a generation of lifelong builders.
PlayMatters is inspired by LEGO Foundation’s call to challenge the
status quo, to offer children the quality education they dream of.
Children are not gaining the skills they need, teachers are
under-supported, and parents are overwhelmed. The systems built to serve
them are failing them. PlayMatters proudly offers something different.
It is being delivered by a coalition with a track record of thinking and
delivering differently. We bring three distinct characteristics:
1.
Outcomes: Everything we do is fueled by the social, emotional,
cognitive, physical, creative and resilience outcomes we seek. We know
learning happens when children are at the center and teachers, parents
and the system surrounding them embrace children’s agency and have not
only skills and resources, but the motivation to drive change.
2.
Research and learning: Effective delivery requires both rigor and a big
heart. With LEGO Foundation, PlayMatters will generate scientific
evidence that can transform our understanding of play and learning for
refugees in East Africa and around the world.
3. Thought leadership:
The LEGO Foundation Humanitarian Initiative offers an opportunity to
deliver and comes with the responsibility to lead. Our consortium’s
members have a record mobilizing others.

learning through play for children aged 3-12+. The candidate will work
closely with the PlayMatters Content Development Committees, Regional
Curriculum Specialist, and Technical Advisor in Curriculum Development.
