Learning Spaces
Off Paper collaborates with local community partners to create learning spaces in underserved areas, transforming them into vibrant centers of knowledge.
Overcoming Inaccessibility
Technology is a privilege few can afford in underserved communities. Even with a device, most lack the digital skills to use technology productively. We partner with leaders in the community to bring our resources to the most vulnerable children.
Each learning space is managed by passionate volunteers and is equipped with tablet devices preloaded with the Off Paper app. Children can gather, connect, and immerse themselves in the world of literacy through independent or group learning.
How it works
1. Each learning space is equipped with tablet devices.
2. The Off Paper App is installed on each tablet and updated monthly.
3. Children learn independently or in groups with their friends.
4. Facilitators guide children and engage alongside them.

Partnership Process

The Off Paper team stays with the community to learn about their culture and needs. We do so not just through conversing with the locals but observing the children and conducting pre-testing to gauge their ablities.
-
After collecting and accessing the data, we discuss with our local partners the best way to use our resources for the children’s learning.
-
We trait he volunteers on how to use the learning app based on the customised solution created. We observe the roll-out and further discuss how our methods can be improved.
-
We work with the partners to equip each learning space with devices and Off Paper’s app.

The local team continues the work.

We keep in touch with the local team in-person and remotely, consistently gathering feedback, brainstorming and training them on new updates.
