The founders and designers of the Anji Play Approach have planned and organized the first annual True Play Conference in Anji County, China as a forum for educational thought and policy leaders from around the world to gain a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of True Play and Anji Play and together consider the implications of these movements for global educational reform.

This conference will bring together leaders working at the frontier of global knowledge and research regarding the learning, growth and development of the child and the larger community. As the first International True Play Conference, it will become the basis for an annual event hosted in other countries and regions.

This conference seeks to build a union of True Play leaders and practitioners, a “Global True Play Union,” that is connected in a meaningful exchange of ideas and works together to identify, support, research, and promote models of True Play globally.
