Books Unbound develops contextualized learning materials for refugees and marginalized populations. They are a diverse team of content creators, many of whom are refugees themselves, working to strengthen community-driven informal education networks through culturally grounded resources.
Books Unbound’s signature approach involves “cartoonizing communities,” providing positive representation and accessible learning tools for displaced groups in need of cultural preservation and educational support.
Approach:
- Cartoon-Based Instruction - Materials feature playful, culturally sensitive cartoon illustrations designed to engage learners of all literacy levels.
- Relevant Educational Priorities - Collaboration with local educators ensures materials address immediate needs such as basic vocabulary, health information, and female-sensitive topics.
- Language Preservation - Partnerships with local and international linguists promote mother-tongue literacy and support the preservation of minority languages.
Books Unbound sells educational products, delivers teacher training programs, and provides consulting services to organizations seeking custom instructional materials.
