Shifting Schools: Conversations for K12 Educators

351: Skateboarding as a tool for change


Listen Later

đź’ˇ On our power of play series this week we talk with a remarkable leader with Skateistan, Hala Khalaf.

Skateistan is an international NGO that uses skateboarding as a tool for education and empowerment. It started with a few children in Kabul who were curious about skateboarding and has now grown into a global movement. The organization focuses on providing fun and inclusive spaces for children and at-risk youth to learn, play, and shape their futures. Skateistan has also created the Good Push Alliance, a social skate network that connects over a thousand skate projects worldwide. The organization emphasizes the importance of play and the valuable life skills that can be learned through skateboarding.
