Reimagining Learning, with Lebanese Alternative Learning
About the project
Context:
In Lebanon, political turmoil and economic collapse have left millions of children without access to stable or continuous education.
About:
We’re working alongside the Lebanese Alternative Learning (LAL) to address the challenges of children learning in crisis affected areas. Together, we’ve created Alternative Learning Spaces in two communities, Dhour Choueir and Zahle.
Inside these spaces, tablets and laptops preloaded with LAL’s Tabshoura platform provide a self-directed learning programme for children. Teachers, newly trained in LAL’s Self-Directed Learning model, guide rather than instruct, helping each child learn at their own pace, rediscover curiosity, and regain confidence.
Lebanese Alternative Learning
Established: 2014
Location: Beirut, Lebanon
About:
Lebanese Alternative Learning was created by Lebanese educators and technology experts to provide quality education for all children, especially those who have been displaced by conflict or excluded from traditional schools. The organisation uses technology, teacher training, and community partnerships to tackle Lebanon’s ongoing education crisis.
Their flagship platform, Tabshoura, is an award-winning learning tool that offers free educational resources in Arabic, French, and English. It works online and offline, providing curriculum based content to help children continue learning during crises such as the Syrian refugee influx, Lebanon’s financial collapse, and regional instability.
