WISE Edtech making Arabic part of digital learning revolution

A passion for learning and change-making has driven the development of an edtech platform that provides digital content in Arabic – supported by Qatar Foundation’s global education think tank, WISE.

Kamkalima hosts fun and contemporary digital content within a framework that includes all the educational objectives of the Arabic language, from reading and listening to speaking and writing.

WISE chose Kamkalima to join its WISE Edtech Accelerator – a programme that helps to advance edtech solutions with the potential to make a positive educational impact – because of its aim of reimagining how language learning is accessed. This dedication to learning innovation has led to WISE continuing to partner with Kamkalima as one of the programme’s alumni.

Siroun Shamigian, co-founder of Kamkalima says: “Twenty years ago, I started my career as a teacher. I was training a number of teachers to use technical tools via the Internet, but I noticed there were challenges surrounding the Arabic language, due to the absence of digital content that simulates technological progress. I sat down with my colleague Nisrine El Makkouk, who shared the same vision about what education should be. We decided to look for a solution – and it was Kamkalima.”
