Primary education: Including content, curriculum, provider, system, education level, literacy, study and teaching practices, school supplies, facilities, food, pre- and extra-curricular activities, school travel and value of education. Secondary focus areas of practices and observations: Numerous interesting/important themes were identified prior, during and after data gathering including poverty, daily life, household financial management, aspirations, dreams and worries, business, infrastructure, space and time, technology and adverse practices.

    5. PRACTICES: Example of sharing books in schools In Tanzania, children often study together in voluntary groups This is partially due to lack of personal school materials and partially due to solidarity Studying together also compensates the lack of teachers Sharing is common practice in many areas of life in Tanzania Questions: What implications does this practice have from the perspective of designing study materials? What other implications does this practice have?

Challenge: While Base of the Pyramid (BOP) markets (< €5 / day) represent a very large market potential, at the same time humanity’s ecological footprint has grown rapidly and exceeded the world’s biocapacity. Question: How can these trends be addressed at the same time in an innovative, efficient and effective way?
