The method is to organize Play events and play conferences to communicate with Vietnamese public and Play experts from Japan, in order to connect the experience of play promotion in similar Asia Cultures yet different socio-cultural economies. With the first adventure playground setting up at Swan Lake Park - Ecopark and series of workshops and seminars, this project has achieved successfully all the planned targets. With 48 playworkers and volunteers, over 2000 children (data for one month of operation), 200 audiences and over 1000 followers, the history of adventure playground in Vietnam was started from here and will be expanded in the near future.
