Ayo Main! Journal
The Ayo Main! Journal is an activity book designed to accompany educational play sessions, focusing on strengthening values such as peace, empathy, and tolerance.
Background
Play is a powerful medium for social-emotional learning, especially for children. However, the reflection process after playing is often overlooked, which limits the depth at which values are absorbed. PeaceGeneration created the Ayo Main! Journal as a bridge between playful experiences and value-based learning, using a fun, visual, and child-friendly approach.
