Glimpses of Wonder
The World Game, also known as Sandplay, is an educational tool used in Auroville since the late 1960s whereby children can creatively explore their thoughts, feelings, and imagination in an effort “to know oneself”, a core principle of learning. In this book Aikya describes her approach to using the World Game in Auroville.
