YALLAH – You All Are Hackers is an academic research hackathon, organized by the University of Siegen (Germany) and Birzeit University (West Bank, Palestine), funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) as part of the program “Higher Academic Dialogue with the Islamic World”.
YALLAH’s motivation is to enable multi-national, intercultural collaboration on social innovation. The participants assess social issues with a grounded approach, learn about field exploration and creative, ethnographic and innovative methods. Small teams work on projects, hence applying methodology and work closely with partners in each area.
Makerspaces offer room for collaborative work, making, learning, exploring and sharing. The problem though: it‘s physical a space, inside a building.
How can people access such spaces when living in remote areas where transportation can be problematic? Especially in the context of Palestine?
Due to the political situation, some Palestinians living outside of Palestine are struggling to visit the West Bank. Imagine you could a visit place without the need of thinking about long travels or political borders.
