“Back to Urth” Playgrounds©

The light behind the “Back to Urth” Playgrounds© was ignited by the dream to reach more children.  Children from low socio-economic settings are more prone to Sensory Integration difficulties due them not being given the opportunity to experience movement in the variety of ways our sensory systems can provide. Skills are transferred to the community members and children, participating in the building process and enabling them to upkeep the playground afterwards.  For more information contact Annemarie van Jaarsveld (gnatavj@ufs.ac.za) or the University of Free State.
