Our World: Worldwide Day of Play
is on September 28, 2024!
The Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) and their member museums are pleased to partner with Nickelodeon on the 2024 Our World: Worldwide Day of Play. As a day dedicated to experiencing joyful learning through play, this global event focuses on getting children and their families active!
ACM and Nickelodeon share values of: encouraging children to play; engaging parents in enabling their child's play; creating access to experiences that improve children's health (mental and physical), wellbeing, agency, resilience, and empathy; and creating a world where all children thrive.
To help make the 2024 Our World: Worldwide Day of Play the biggest ever, ACM, an Our World coalition member, is inviting museums to register for the event. By registering, museums will receive information on next steps, gain access to ACM's communications toolkit, and be included in the Day of Play event directory. To register, visit https://childrensmuseums.org/dayofplay/. The ACM are looking forward to seeing how your museum will encourage and highlight the ways play can build kids’ agency and confidence.
ACM and Nickelodeon are pleased to help support ACM and Museums for All members in offsetting the costs of hosting an event. A $500 stipend is available for Association of Children’s Museums or Museums for All participating organizations that are hosting a Day of Play event on September 28, 2024. Priority will be given to museums with operating budgets under $1 million USD and those serving/located in underserved communities. A limited amount of funding is available on a first-come/first-serve basis.
All organizations receiving funding will need to sign a Letter of Agreement, provide a W-9, and complete a brief post-event survey on the organization’s participation.
Qualifying organizations will be contacted after registration. For additional information, please email mdeveryconsulting@gmail.com.
