- 4. Figures from the UNHCR (2015), revealed that in the first six months of 2015 ,137000 refugees and migrants attempted to enter the EU, a rise of %83 on the same period in 2014. As the UNHCR (2015) notes this has placed enormous pressure on the European country’s infrastructure and made it increasingly difficult for refugees to access, work, shelter and education. beginning of the story
- 5. Visiting camps around EU based on my personal motivation which gave me a sense of the different situations with both problems and opportunity arenas. Then it was in one of my visits in a camp, in one of the shelters that I saw: beginning of the story
- 6. very creative tools/objects lying down on the floor built by couple of inhabitants inside the facility. Thinking deeper and discussing it with themselves brought me these reasons for this creation: • Need of having a tool for a function that they were looking for • Having very few financial resources to buy the needed tools. • Having the background as craftsman and engineer • The camp’s surrounding being almost a dumping area for left overs • Having lots of idle time to think & do Coming back from this experience, I kept comparing the mentioned approach with what and how we do things and learn at design schools and academies. beginning of the story
- 7. How can design help the refugees to be considered resourceful instead of needy and provide solutions to value and activate their capabilities? Questions
- 8. ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN STUDENTS REFUGEES & ASYLUM SEEKERS IN CAMPS • What if we bring the students to the refugees and help them benefit from their different perspectives and skills in thinking and doing things? • What if they co-create some required products for the camps? • Later on, what if we could invite industries to mass produce some of the creations and have a brand out of it. A selling brand which is carrying its story of production with it all around the world, inviting others to do as such in their own fields. Also the income would be back to the refugees themselves to help them having a bit of extra salary out of their own work and possibly, the profit could go further to financially help with the conditions inside the facilities. Questions
- 9. EXPECTED OUTCOME • Design and implement series of collaborative workshops/pilots for design and built activities together with refugees and design students. • Design of guidelines for improving today services • Design of future journey (scenarios and visual explanations) • System mapping of stakeholders and connection to users and influencing actors. • Design and possibly build some of the Products in 1:1 scale. Products would be simple for daily use in the camps. • Making visual communication (Film, animations, illustrations, 3Drendering, etc) project outomes
- 10. moving around with my questions Happening now! Bringing 9 refugees with high skill in computer science and data analysis to a workshop in DNB together with the employees to work on 4 main projects that the bank is dealing with currently. IN PROGRESS, IN CASE DNB PROJECT TOGETHER WITH REFUGEES gathering 120 changemakers in a workshop at the Norwegian parliament, to turn what many perceived as a refugee crisis into an opportunity for change.

Production of the limited line will be based in Jordan, which has accepted more than 655,000 refugees since war broke out in neighboring Syria in 2011. https://www.ikeafoundation.org/ JOINT PROJECT AMONG IKEA FOUNDATION AND NRC IN JORDAN Greece based innovation studio special- izing in circular design, environmental engineering & big-data digital applica- tions for the humanitarian sector.
