LEGO CON 2021 is exactly two weeks away and LEGO is giving you a chance to ask a LEGO designer questions. Head on over to Twitter or Facebook and post your questions and if chosen, your question could be answered live. The post didn’t limit what you can ask so it’s pretty much free rein as to what you can ask. Obviously, keep it constructive and not ask about future sets as they will most likely not answer those.

LEGO CON will be held live on July 26 at http://LEGO.com/LEGOCON and there will be Q&As, building challenges, interviews, and even a LEGO Star Wars set reveal.

Ever wanted to ask a LEGO designer anything? 🤔 Post your questions in the comments for your chance to have it asked LIVE at #LEGOCON on 26 June. More info: https://t.co/2JrJOQ2MEY pic.twitter.com/A9rXclVqTm

Billund, May 27, 2021: The LEGO Group, the LEGO Foundation, and UNICEF today announced a partnership to bring learning-through-play to help early years development in children living in disadvantaged regions of China.

The three-year partnership will see approximately US$2.5 million invested in providing resources to community-based family support programmes to help caregivers understand the importance and life-long benefits of incorporating play into their everyday lives and enhance caregivers’ capacity to better support their young children.

Research has found that caregivers and young children in less developed areas interact less, and that disparity exists between urban and rural areas in many aspects of early childhood development, such as the opportunity to develop language.

“UNICEF is working with our partners so that every girl and boy’s rights to health, education and protection are achieved. Upholding these rights in the early years impacts a child’s long-term health, education and well-being. This partnership
