Project Information

In general, we have provided you with a lot of background data to illustrate the need of our work and why our mission of providing digital learning opportunities for academic, professional and personal growth is so important. We would like to focus on the situation of refugees in Germany, as this is one of the countries where we carry out most of our projects and unfortunately it is very difficult to find data on the job market or university access of refugees worldwide. But we would prefer a creative approach - that means we are open to ideas from participants which data from our input is interesting to visualize.

We are planning to share some information about the hackathon on social media as well as the winning ideas. We would also like to use the visualisations for presentations or publications.
