What is the best way Fab Lab
Berlin can help?
What we learned
● There are a lot of talented and skilled refugees in Berlin.● Young refugees are mostly focused on continuing or completing
their studies.● Desire and need for a secure job and economic stability for
themselves and their family.● Most of the refugees we met were male.
What we’d like to do
Provide a gender equal program for integrating refugees into tech companies in Berlin.
What we still need to research
● Identify what companies are looking for in employees. ● Identify visa/legal barriers for refugees and employers.● Identify cultural and language barriers. ● Figure out what other infrastructure and support refugees need.
