Over the last two years I have been working on The Maarifa Initiative and this summer we are starting up projects in Kampala, Uganda and Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.
The Maarifa Initiative is all about creating a community of students and teachers working to reuse, adapt and translate digital learning resources from existing global resources into local languages.
A short summery of our workflow looks like this:
- We start by searching and finding digitale learning resources
- translate and re-contextualize
- re-develop and build new content
- Publish in a new language and context
This video gives an short introduction to the structure and how we work:
