When you listen to Ms Cheng Xueqin talk about Anji Play—an early education program built on the power of play—you know that trust carries the water. Without trust, there is no program.
What I find particularly interesting are the tenets of the program: love, risk, and reflection.
It’s not enough to say go play! Something needs to be at stake – risk.
Tasks are not repeated, but iterated – reflection.
And love, who doesn’t need that?
I mention this because Anji Play is a reminder that it’s not enough to connect people or pass on information; something has to carry the water.
If it’s trust, then risk works. We think big, act small, and evolve.
What are you using to carry the water?
