Our Children's Courtroom

This bespoke child-scale courtroom invites children to learn about South Africa’s justice system and imagine new career paths through facilitated role play. From judge to court officer, children take turns in a mock courtroom environment to deepen their understanding about the various roles within a court and the importance of the rule of law.

This facilitated learning environment creates a memorable and empowering experience for children as they learn through play. Play Africa's Children's Courtroom helps children, families and educators develop new skills in a welcoming, nonthreatening environment. Through this exhibit and facilitated programmes, Play Africa aims to: 1. Promote the Constitution and rule of law 2. Advocate for children's rights within our constitutional democracy 3. Inspire children to consider new careers To date, more than 3,000 children have experienced this # memorable 2-3 hour play-based learning programme. Thanks to Bowmans for sponsoring the exhibit, Constitutional Hill for hosting us, for design, SetBuild for fabrication and the High Commission of Canada in South Africa for initial programme support.
