Manifesto № 01 / 2026 Riyadh Vol. I

Education has long been bound by constraints — Thewhat breaks them.

Editorial

A quarterly of essays and dispatches, written slowly. Bilingual at the piece level — English and Arabic — never as parallel content, always as parallel thought.

Studio

Four R&D tracks held as future bets, not products. The studio is closer in shape to a publishing house with a research arm than to an edtech company.

Reader

We write for a reader who is dissatisfied with how schools currently work, and curious enough to read past the headline. Replies come by letter.

Athel«أثل»

A branch focused on ages three to seven — simplifying complex concepts and big questions into simple, actionable encounters. Educational tools, games, and activities that build the foundation of the learning journey and spark natural curiosity.فرعٌ مخصّص للأطفال بين الثالثة والسابعة — يبسّط الأفكار المعقّدة والأسئلة الكبرى إلى مقابلات بسيطة وقابلة للتطبيق. أدواتٌ تعليمية وألعابٌ وأنشطةٌ تبني أساس الرحلة التعليمية وتُشعل الفضول الطبيعي.

The teacher’s pinدبّوس المعلّم

What if a wearable AI pin replaced the phone-camera in early-years classrooms? A quieter form of documentation — designed to lift the performance loop off the children.ماذا لو حلّ دبّوسٌ مُرتدىً محلّ كاميرا الهاتف في فصول الطفولة المبكّرة؟ توثيقٌ أهدأ — مصمَّم ليرفع عن الأطفال عبء الأداء أمام العدسة.
