Luísa Magalhães, Lecturer at the Portuguese Catholic University (UCP) - Braga and Researcher at the Center for Philosophical and Humanistic Studies (CEFH), was part of the team proposing the ReToy project; education partnerships for responsible toy design futures.

This is an application under the ERASMUS + program that is the result of the association of an international group of researchers, led by Professor Jesper Falck Leegard from Designskolen Kolding, Denmark. This group includes professors Mathieu Gielen and Deger Ozkaramanli (Technische Universiteit Delft), from the Netherlands, Nicole Biankin, Serenella Besio and Elisabetta Prina (Universitá Degli Studi di Bergamo), Italy, Lieselotte Van Leeuwen and Johnny Friberg (Goeteborg Universiteit), Sweden, Secil Ugur Yavuz and Michaela Honauer (Libera Università di Bolzano), Italy.

The project presented is a research opportunity aimed at inclusive education issues related to the design and construction of toys focused on the development of sustainable strategies for learning in the context of play.
