About the Seenaryo Playkit
The Seenaryo Playkit is an app that transforms early childhood teaching and learning through play. Designed for teachers of 3 to 8-year-olds in the least-resourced schools in Lebanon and Jordan, it is a huge bank of games, songs, interactive stories and classroom management techniques – all easily searchable by topic, age group or activity type and applicable to any early years curriculum. The app features how-to videos, music tracks and printable flashcards - all in Arabic, English and French.
The Playkit app is usually accompanied by a 3-day teacher training, or 1 day condensed training. It aims to build children’s core life skills - cognitive & language, social & emotional, and physical - with the ultimate aim of increasing the child’s chances of success in school and in later life.
About Seenaryo
Participatory theatre and play can transform an individual’s sense of agency. They gain the power to shape their own narrative and expand what is possible, individually but also through collective action. Working in Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine, Seenaryo uses theatre and play to support people to heal, lead and learn. We co-create performances with under-served communities, train future leaders and transform classrooms through play. Reaching 155,000 children, youth and women since 2015, Seenaryo won the Resilience in Action Award at HundrED 2024, the Arts, Culture & Heritage prize at the 2023 UK Charity Awards and was one of Expo 2020 Dubai’s 120 Global Innovators.
