I had a great time chatting with Jordan Shapiro and Laura Higgins on the first episode (of their third season) of the #IntotheDigitalFuture podcast! 🎧 We dive into the #RITEC project, the collaboration between the LEGO Group and UNICEF, that explores how to support #design for #children's #wellbeing in #digital #play. As someone passionate about child development, it was wonderful to discuss how digital platforms can positively impact children’s well-being, for example: their ability to express themselves while growing into their unique identities. The podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube 👉https://lnkd.in/eAbkks2P #ChildRights #Digitalplay #Podcast #PlayMatters #unicefCRB #design #kidtech Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop❤️
