The first project of my master studies at the University of Applied Siences in Darmstadt. Along with an interdiciplinary team of five I worked on an regrettably very current topic: the ever-growing stream of people who are forced to turn their backs on their home in order to start a new life in a foreign country. The result of our work is a concept for a platform that will make it easier for supporters and refugees to get in touch and unbureaucratically offer assistance.
“The motto is: Integration through innovation. ”
Main features of the app explained.

The profile page gives users the option to see news, saved postings and of course their personal settings.

In the long term, Dach der Ideen (German for: "rooftop of ideas") is planned to become a makerspace for socially neglected people, offering training to enhance career opportunities. It allows participants, not only refugees, to become full taxpayers instead of being dependant on social benefits. This concept was summarized in a booklet to inform possible partners.
