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.
