This high-level event brings together children, Member States, and partners to champion every child's right to play and drive global commitments.
The International Day of Play (IDOP) is a global observance dedicated to championing every child's right to play. At UN Headquarters, the 2026 High-Level Event will convene children, Member States, UN agencies, civil society, and private sector partners to highlight leadership, showcase commitments, and advance action to protect and promote play worldwide. The event will feature high-level remarks, child-led segments, the launch of a global data report on play and statement of commitments from Member States. With a focus on safe and healthy play spaces, alongside other accelerators such as playful parenting and learning through play, IDOP 2026 will reinforce the importance of play as essential to children's development and well-being. We would be grateful for UN WebTV's support in livestreaming the event and capturing it for wider global dissemination.
