ICDI developed resources to support the creation and running of Mobile Play Hubs for Ukrainian refugee children in Hungary and Slovakia.

One of these resources is The Operating Guidelines, which contain three chapters: address the role of everybody involved in the Mobile Play Hub, especially of the LATs, and illustrate how a Mobile Play Hub can be designed and operated to function as a surprise box for children, offering guidance to choose toys that fit children’s age best. The document also explains how Mobile Play Hubs work together with regular Play Hubs and other services available in the community. Lastly, the guidelines provide a good introduction to outdoor play and its importance for children’s mental and physical well-being.
