Build the Change Tuesday
Build the Change Tuesday is a social impact programme driven by The Day in partnership with the LEGO® Group. Its purpose is to engage children on real-world sustainability news and challenges through learning through play, to amplify their creative ideas for a better future.
Through the lens of the news, our resources fuel learning through play, collaboration and creative thinking, encouraging children to use their creativity to solve people and planet problems with LEGO® bricks and other creative materials.
