This project aims to help refugees in by handing them free and helpful tools for field-detected needs. The main areas are:
- Simple legal information
- Useful local resources locations
- Community interaction.
This is done via a cell phone application. The scope of this first App will be, due to technical and financial reasons, the metropolitan area of Athens.
1. Context: smartphone has revolutionized what we understand as an immigration crisis. For refugees, their mobile phone is one of its most precious possessions. It allows them to learn, keep in touch with their acquaintances and navigate an unfamiliar country.
App4Refs is born as a project to exploit this technology by providing simple and useful information to people who need it to manage their new situation, allowing their empowerment and gaining security for themselves and those around them.
2. Application characteristics
Simplicity: The application should be used by teenagers as well as elder people. Therefore, it should be intuitive, crystal clear and easy to use.
Area-based: This application will be developed to be used in the metropolitan area of Athens. While some parts of it may be useful outside the city, the focus will be to cover this area.
Accessibility: The application should be easily accessed and its use completely free.
Internationalization. The text in the app will be kept to a minimum with as many available languages as possible.
Low resource intensive: The design will be done with low-end smartphones in mind. Meaning: small processor needs, lightweight and compatible with old versions of android/ios.
