The Challenge
More than 3.5 million refugee children were unable to attend a single day of school in 2016, and those who did attend often faced learning difficulties due to long-term stress as well as the lack of educational materials in languages they use and understand. Without basic literacy and numeracy skills, young people face limited educational progress and economic opportunities.
The Big Idea
The 100 Adventures in Science and Life audible, levelled, and accessible ebook templates present STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related content and feature great diversity of characters.
Results
The books templates are available on the Global Digital Library for free global use. Authors can easily translate and contextualize the storybook templates.
