Mobeybou is composed by a set of tools that aim at promoting the development of cognitive, social & language skills, within a multicultural framework.
OUT investigates how the Mobeybou materials can promote the development of multiliteracies, collaboration skills, & intercultural sensitivity in Early Childhood, and how teachers/educators can support children in this learning.
Children use the Mobeybou tools, i.e., a digital manipulative, and a storyMaker as authoring tools to create their own personal narratives. A set of story apps inform the children about the various cultures.
