I had someone helping me to translate some of my documents into Portuguese. But now I have modified them a lot, so I need to translate it again. It is probably best to translate my documents when I am more or less finished. And the learning material. Well... I guess there could be some similar programs in Mandarin and Spanish, or it could (or it is already) be translated to does languages. Anyhow, I would need help from people to translate. If you want to help me translate for free into Dutch, you are welcome.
I am willing to translate, I'm just wondering why your education focuses on only the western cultures of the world.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of insight into what learning materials they have in China, since I have never lived in China. They probably have some there, which could be included, but I don't know about it.   . Or different government types than democracy.
If you want to add more games to the list I recommend Life is Strange, Everything, Minecraft, Civilization. Civilization teaches you about history while being fun to play, Minecraft encourages creativity and building, Everything is philosophical game based on eastern philosophy, and Life is Strange is an emotional rollercoaster that teaches kids to embrace nihilism.

Me neither, but I think itś bad to focus on one culture if you want to teach kids stuff. Then again, maybe your goal is to teach kids in your world view instead of an open mind to all world views that exist in the world. Because your material doesn't include any religion or sex education for example . Or different government types than democracy.
Information about religions and other types of government is (or should be) included in topic called "Learning from history" at the last page. I forgot about the sex education. They actually have a course about it at coursera.org:

I have played through life is strange, and it is a good game, although I am not sure about how much people can learn from it. Life is strange: Before the Storm, just came out btw (http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/554620/). I might include it and "Dreamfall Chapters" somewhere, since they are good non-violent games. Civilization 5 is actually already included on the last page.
I need to investigate more about the educational benefits of minecraft and other games, such as the one called Factorio (http://store.steampowered.com/app/427520/Factorio/).

I think before the storm is not so much to learn about as the original life is strange series.
Life is strange has atleast taught me the following;
- even if you have the best intentions in the world, you can't save everyone (various people dying no matter what)
- you can't dwell on choices, you have to make them and stick with them
- if you are yourself you will gain respect from eveyone, even if you're not that popular
- daguerreotypes
Anyway, about learning from history: That sounds arrogant. We aren't the new humans V2.0, better than all the humans from the past that made mistakes. And us enlightened scientifically studied people aren't better than people who only finished a basic education and go to church on sunday. Thatś the mistake that we keep on making as humanity, that we're better than others living on different latitudes/longitudes behind imaginary borders that powerful people thought, and that people who believe in a fictional entity have a lot in common with people who believe in p < 0.05. Focus on what we have in common, and especially with people of opposing beliefs; focus on the good parts.
As you may note I am arrogant as well. I seem to think that world peace is possible if everyone achieves the same level of open mindedness as I have. So don't take this all too seriously.

aand about nihilism. it destroyed me for a while, thinking that whatever best intentions I might have life was pointless.
But then I saw this video, and it kinda touched me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBRqu0YOH14
So perhaps the kids thee days might learn something from it.
Speaking of learing.. what do you think about Elon Musk's initiative to make a human/electronic interface?

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

They'd understand what it says, but would they understand why it works any better, though? There could be a more useful diagram for that.
