This project develops literacy skills through the creation of culturally relevant stories, empowering children to engage with their surroundings and be part of the solution-building.
Currently, we have our first two children's books in the illustration process, and we are starting the writing process for two more books.
Our platform emerges from a grounded research process about and with the communities and their needs. This makes Barrilete different.
In the platform we addressed contents studied in class to be strengthened while also addressing issues like gender, health, and nature preservation.
Desde la Editorial Barrilete buscamos desarrollar habilidades de lectoescritura a través de la creación de historias culturalmente relevantes, que permitan a las infancias problematizar su entorno y ser protagonistas en la construcción de soluciones.
Este proyecto inició con la visita a la comunidad Ngäbe Buglé, en la cual tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer y comprender mejor su entorno y necesidades en cuanto a recursos educativos. En esta visita tuvimos la oportunidad de co-escribir una historia con las niñas y niños de la comunidad.
We believe that education, communication, and technology are powerful tools for solving social problems. We believe that we can use our experience in these areas to innovate for inclusion.
