ENGLISH:At 26 Letters, we believe that it is the educational programme that should adapt to students and not the other way around. We also believe in the importance of mainstreaming ethical concepts in all our subjects, including Maths! This is why we develop our own educational materials so that they can later be personalized and adapted to each student’s needs and interests.
This is only possible thanks to our incredible curriculum development team. Our volunteers work from home with the aim of designing comprehensive, ethical and fun materials. They work independently, creating their own schedules and developing their books with total creative liberty.
At 26 Letters we all learn by doing! So, if you want to join the team you do not need to worry about previous experience. Tamar Taibo, co-founder and director of the department, will guide you and help you design your materials with all the care and patience of the world!

ESPAÑOL:
En 26 Letters creemos que es el programa escolar el que debe adaptarse a lxs estudiantes y no al revés. También creemos en la importancia de integrar temas éticos en todas las asignaturas, ¡incluyendo matemáticas! Es por esto que no solo diseñamos nuestros propios libros, sino que además los personalizamos y adaptamos a las necesidades y gustos concretos de cada estudiante.
Esto solo es posible gracias al increíble trabajo de nuestro equipo de desarrollo curricular. Nuestras personas voluntarias trabajan desde sus respectivos países con el objetivo de crear materiales educativos integrados, éticos y divertidos. Trabajan de manera independiente, creando sus propios horarios y desarrollando sus libros con total libertad creativa.
Tamar Taibo, cofundadora y directora del departamento, les guía y ayuda a la hora de crear los materiales, por lo que no se necesita experiencia previa para unirse al equipo. Al fin y al cabo, ¡la mejor manera de aprender es aprender haciendo! Si te ha sonado interesante esto de crear libros, simplemente contáctanos, ¡nos encantará escuchar tus ideas!
