How might we increase the availability of affordable learning tools & services for students in the developing world?
Concept
Source Local Knowledge
Tap into a neighborhood or town's community to collect local knowledge and shape into a distributable form. Previously unrecorded experiences contained within that community can in this way extend their reach, and can inspire new didactic material.
The means of collection can be audio or video (interviews, descriptions, stories). The distribution can also be the same, but could also be transferred to written and pictorial form. The process of complementing recorded accounts can be done with local artists/writers/storytellers/volunteers.
Who would implement this?
- A local entrepreneur or small organization
Cost
Material is sourced from volunteers from the community by a local entrepreneur who seeks out the right mix of contributors. That entrepreneur edits the material and collects a fee from local schools who would like to use it. Production cost is covered through sale to multiple schools.
Alternately, a school can sponsor the creation of the material and choose to distribute it to other schools for a fee.

Distribution & Delivery
Reaching out to schools and showing the material.
Adoption
An activity can be suggested around the content, depending on its form. A teacher can introduce the audiovisual content in a session centered around local neighborhood, customs, community.
