LEGO boosts life skills for children

LEGO Foundation, a corporate foundation created by the owner of the Denmark-based LEGO Group, is joining hands with several educational institutes in China to nurture interest in learning through play and inculcate vital skills among the country's children and students.

In September, the foundation launched a fellowship program with Tsinghua University that seeks to honor business administration program students who show creativity skills, and are committed to the idea of lifelong learning in their efforts to progress as entrepreneurs.

The foundation and the Tsinghua University Lab for Lifelong Learning (TULLL) entered into a partnership in January 2016 to support the Chinese educational strategy by providing a convenient platform to develop new tools that can foster creativity and innovation in children and students.
