Re:coded - On a mission to bridge the worlds digital inequality divide through education
16.05.2021
46 Minuten
In this episode I interview Ali and Marcello the founders of Re:Coded.  Re:Coded trains talented youth in underserved communities to become software developers, designers, and leaders in their communities. They currently work in Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, and Yemen. In their own words: We started Re:Coded because we believe that young people affected by war should have the opportunity to enter the digital economy. With millions displaced in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey, job opportunities are  sparse and primarily in the informal sector, where the pay is low and exploitation is high. That is particularly concerning for young men and women with a university degree and a dream of a better tomorrow. We cover a range of topics: How they came across the idea How they launched their pilot The challenges of launching a school in a war zone The impact that they are having short term and long term.

Über diesen Podcast

Starting something that has a positive impact is incredibly difficult. We don't spend a lot of time focusing on positive change-makers in the media and who they are. This makes the regular person believe that they can't make an impact, but in fact, these changemakers are just like them with one difference: they took action. This podcast aims to inspire that first step to taking action on something you're passionate about and will make the world a better place.
