Jubilee Celebration - 25 Years Right To Play
25 Years of Right To Play – A Celebration of Play, Partnership, and Purpose
On June 11, 2025, we gathered on the beautiful Halbinsel Au by Lake Zurich to celebrate a very special milestone: 25 years of Right To Play.
What began a quarter of a century ago with a powerful belief – that play can educate, heal, and empower – has grown into a global movement reaching children across more than 14 countries. This anniversary was not only a moment of reflection but also a celebration of the people who have shaped our journey: partners, ambassadors, supporters, and dedicated staff.
A Celebration that Moved – In Every Sense
The atmosphere at the event was filled with energy, connection, and inspiration. Guests joined us for an evening of meaningful exchange and joyful activity.
One of the most memorable moments was seeing our guests engage in interactive play sessions with our incredible Right To Play Ambassadors. These games weren’t just fun—they brought our mission to life. Play connects. Play moves. Play builds trust. The openness and enthusiasm with which everyone participated reminded us why we do what we do.
Celebrating on the International Day of Play
Our celebration coincided with the International Day of Play – a global day to recognize and promote every child’s right to play. It was the perfect occasion to come together and reaffirm our commitment to creating opportunities for children to learn, heal, and thrive through the power of play.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in celebrating this milestone. Your presence, your generosity, and your belief in our work mean the world to us. A special thank you goes to our Ambassadors, whose ongoing commitment and energy help amplify our message far and wide—not just on this day, but throughout the year.
Looking Ahead
While we took time to reflect on 25 years of impact, we are also looking ahead with determination. The challenges facing children around the world remain urgent—whether through conflict, poverty, or the effects of climate change. Together with our partners, ambassadors, and supporters, we remain committed to using play as a tool to unlock potential and protect childhood.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Because: PLAY CHANGES EVERYTHING.
