"The Closing Ceremony is always a special day for PlayOnside. For us it is a confirmation, that all the hard work in the months prior to the event has had an impact. We focus on social inclusion, friendship across the different communities and equal access to opportunities regardless of gender.

When we see children from different schools sitting together, bonding and becoming friends and girls and boys equally participating in the activities at the closing ceremony, we know that what we have done up to the event has been a success.

Hopefully our internal M&E team will agree with me."
