Immigrants/refugees is a staple in most of our countries and will always be. We need to constantly be innovating to make sure immigrants/refugees are welcomed and have access to the resources they need to thrive.  Cocreate service support solutions using technology to make it easier for (im)migrants/refufees to access services that will help accelerate their assimilation so they can lead happy, having successful lives within their new communities.

Requirements

  • Build and submit any technological app or presentation you can imagine that can help social integration of immigrants/refugees. 

How can we improve living conditions for refugees? How can they access reliable information on their legal status? What kind of opportunities are available or can be created for refugees? How can we tap on the many skills that moving populations bring with them? How can populations in transit and local populations come closer and develop an intercultural dialogue?

The outcomes can include mobile applications and technology solutions, as well as ideas for non-technology products and services, or cultural and educational platforms.
