Week 1

This week, factories participating in the Family-Friendly Spaces program have held opening ceremonies to mark the official beginning of the summer program. 

Family-Friendly Spaces aim to help supply chain workers with summer childcare challenges while providing children with a safe, fun and educational space in which to socialise and learn.

The opening ceremonies began with speeches from factory leaders, ESCP representatives, and program sponsors, giving an overview of the learning and activities planned for the children this summer. During the event, guests and children played with the donated toys together, experiencing the joy of learning through play.

Sponsors of the program have donated a variety of toys and interactive games, enabling the children to play with each other and filling the spaces with joy and laughter. Through these toys and engaging activities and under the guidance of the teachers, the children were able to explore their creativity and develop teamwork skills.

The generous sponsorship from Mattel, Hape, Hallmark, LEGO®, GDTEX &Futuretex, Macy's, TÜV Rheinland, Moose Toys, Sainsbury's, Crayola, Superdry, Disney, the Marketing Store and Spin Master will help to make this summer extra memorable. We sincerely appreciate their contributions to making this summer an unforgettable one for the children.
