About Access to Play

Let’s Play
Welcome to Access to Creative Play Foundation, where art serves as a catalyst for social change.
Through applied drama, creative play, and theatre-based interventions, we tackle critical social challenges such as gender-based violence, mental health, and community resilience. For the past nine years, we have led efforts to provide art-based mental health and psychosocial support across educational settings and communities affected by conflict and insurgency, particularly in Nigeria.
To transform lives through the healing power of art and creative play.
Our mission is to promote inclusive play, theatre education, and emotional well-being through improvisation, creative play, applied drama, and theatre. We aim to cultivate critical thinking, social awareness, mental health, and community development, fostering reconciliation, recovery, and rebuilding within marginalized communities—especially survivors of harmful traditional practices, including gender and sexual-based violence. Through play-based learning and process drama, we empower individuals—especially children, senior citizens, and those impacted by social inequality—to express themselves, overcome challenges, access psychosocial support, build resilience, and unlock their inner potential to confront both personal and societal oppression in meaningful ways.

Empowering Communities through Creative Play: Our Goal for Healing and Transformation
At Access to Play, our goal is to create an inclusive platform that fosters social dialogue, community support, and healing. We aim to help individuals unlock their potential through applied drama and creative play, promoting personal growth, expression, and social skills. Our work focuses on rebuilding communities, healing trauma in post-conflict areas, and fostering national unity. By encouraging a culture of listening and supporting improvisation across various sectors, we aim to stimulate meaningful connections and collaboration. We are also dedicated to developing art-based psychosocial frameworks to support survivors of conflict, abuse, and violence, using creative play to empower and restore communities.
