Embracing Heritage and Unity Through Pasifika Cultural Play


Pasifika Cultural Play, a vibrant initiative by POP UP PLAY, demonstrates the profound impact of cultural activities in reinforcing identity and heritage within Pasifika communities. This case study reveals how play serves as a medium for intergenerational learning and dialogue, effectively bridging the gap between the young and the elderly. It’s not just about preserving traditions; it’s about creating a shared space for celebrating diversity and fostering a sense of belonging across different age groups. The success of these cultural play activations reflects their ability to enrich the wider community by promoting inclusivity and cultural understanding. This is a testament to the power of play in uniting communities and highlighting the richness of Pasifika cultures.
