Podcasts about techfugees

Sign up to the newsletter at ThePublicRelationsPodcast.com Welcome back to series 5.5 of The Public Relations Podcast, a series of "parts" of chats which were never or only partly used in the previous shows due to lack of time. In this one we chat to Alexandra Annable from the non-profit "Techfugees", and shed light on the interplay between technology, the refugee experience and PR. In the previous episode, where Alexandra first appeared, she shared some of the strategies and techniques she uses in her work but today we get the bigger picture. Alexandra touches on how her work as a PR impacts displaced individuals. She talks about how she views the people she is working with as an untapped potential for bridging the digital skills gap. She provides a glimpse into her typical day, highlighting the role of crisis management in her profession. Discussions revolve around the importance of strategic storytelling, ensuring genuine partnerships, and the pitfalls of "greenwashing." And finally, we talk about the nuances of PR in a humanitarian context and a few techniques.

MPI Europe Senior Policy Analyst Jasmijn Slootjes moderated a session where Imad Elabdala, Founder, Hero2B and Kidnovation; Josephine Goube, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Techfugees for Impact; and Marco Campana, Freelance Communications Consultant discussed the following questions: What lessons can recent innovations provide on how to advance migrant and refugee inclusion through digital services—particularly in a context of social and physical distancing? What limitations, challenges, and inequities should social innovators in civil society, the private sector, and government keep in mind when exploring the potential of tech for inclusion? What investments are necessary to ensure that digitization does not lead to widening inequalities in diverse communities and societies? How can we prevent a proliferation of short-lived, fragmented digital tools and tech solutions—thus improving sustainability, quality, and impact?

TechCheck Producer Brandon Gomez spoke with Alina Vandenberghe, CEO of tech unicorn Chili Piper, about how her company has helped more than 100,000 Ukrainian refugees displaced by the ongoing conflict with Russia. Raj Burman, CEO of Techfugees, a nonprofit focused on empowering displaced persons with tech, also breaks down the role technology plays in aiding communities during times of war and crisis.

Mardi 18 janvier 2022, SMART TECH reçoit Joséphine Goube (Cofondatrice & Directrice exécutive, Techfugees) , Cédric Villani (député indépendant de la 5ème circonscription de l'Essonne, président, OPECST) , Olivier Vallet (Président Directeur Général, Docaposte) et Benoît Hamon (Directeur Général, SINGA Global)

How technology can support refugees We speak to Raj Burman (CEO) and Nowar Rahmouni (social media community builder and writer) of Techfugees. Every 10 seconds someone becomes a refugee. 82.4 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced by the end of 2020. This is forecast to grow to 1 billion people due to climate change over the next 3 decades. So how can technology help? During the recent refugee crisis in Afghanistan we came across Techfugees, a nonprofit who develop technology “for and with” displaced people. Raj Burman (CEO) and Nowar Rahmouni (social media community builder and writer) discuss how refugees have many skills, including resilience, entrepreneurship and the ability to adapt to change quickly. It's those personal qualities which mean they have much to offer the world of digital. And if you're wondering how your leadership style needs to evolve with so much around us all in flux, Techfugees' decentralised model with ‘servant leadership' at its heart indicates what the nonprofit of the future may look like. Paul and Zoe discuss how their use of social media has changed in the light of more revelations about big tech and have a question for you about the environmental impact of hybrid working.

Je CAUSE avec Ambre Cerny, Directrice de la Communication de Techfugees, ONG internationale qui propose de mettre le monde de la tech au service des réfugiés et des déplacés de manière générale. Dans cet épisode, elle nous expose la raison d'être de Techfugees, et les solutions qu'elle explore pour garantir la pérennité de l'ONG, qui n'a pas tant de problématique de notoriété, que de rentabilité !

Joanna fait partie de ce genre de personnalités qui jonglent entre de multiples casquettes en permanence. C’est une femme de passion ! Côté hobby, elle chante depuis ses 25 ans pour son groupe de musique : Tales & Remedies. Côté professionnel, elle est consultante en communication et en relations publiques pour de nombreuses entreprises françaises et internationales. Et côté associatif elle est directrice de l’association StartHer, anciennement Girls in Tech Paris (co-fondée par Roxanne Varza, actuelle directrice de la Station F), qui pousse les femmes à s’emparer du sujet de la tech. Mais elle est aussi présidente de la branche française de l’association Techfugees qui travaille à faire émerger des solutions digitales au service des personnes réfugiées. Autant dire que son emploi du temps est bien chargé ! Je trouvais ça très intéressant de la recevoir sur le podcast pour plusieurs raisons. D’abord parce que je n’ai pas reçu beaucoup d’invité.e.s qui formalisent leur engagement sous la forme d’une implication associative, et pourtant c’est évidemment un moyen très fort et très impactant de se rendre utile. Et ensuite parce qu’il me semble que le parcours de Joanna catalyse deux grandes tendances de fonds qui sont en train de révolutionner notre société : d’abord le numérique bien sûr qui a disrupté ces dernières années à peu près tous les secteurs d’activités, et ensuite une deuxième tendance de fond qui émerge plus récemment : le besoin de responsabilité. Je crois vraiment qu’il n’y a plus une seule entreprise ou une seule personne aujourd’hui qui ne se pose pas, à un moment, la question de l’impact qu’elle a sur son environnement, sur son entourage et de la manière dont elle peut se rendre utile et contribuer à bâtir un monde meilleur.Avec Joanna, on a parlé de :son groupe de musique Tales & Remediescomment elle est passée de l’univers de la musique à celui de la techl’importance de créer des rôles modèles de femmes qui réussissent dans le milieu de la techpourquoi selon elle, toute société a intérêt à être inclusive et à se nourrir de la diversitéle traitement médiatique de la question migratoire en 2015comment la technologie peut se mettre au service des réfugiésson avis sur la “tech for good”, ce mot très tendance depuis quelques années et qui désigne la manière dont la technologie peut servir l’intérêt généralle besoin de responsabilité : comment chaque entreprise et chaque personne commence à se poser la question de son impactpourquoi notre monde a besoin de plus de philosophiegarder de la joieJ’espère que l’épisode vous plaira ! N’hésitez pas à nous donner votre avis, laisser une note ou un commentaire et surtout à vous abonner à Aujourd’hui sur votre application de podcast :)Si vous avez envie d’en savoir plus sur les nombreux engagements de Joanna :Son groupe de musique Tales & RemediesL’association StartHer, qu’elle co-dirige depuis 2015L’association internationale Techfugees, dont elle préside la branche françaiseSi vous cherchez une info évoquée dans l'épisode, rendez-vous sur : http://aujourdhui-lepodcast.com/Vous pouvez aussi nous suivre sur les réseaux sociaux :Sur Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/aujourdhuipodcast/ Sur Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/aujourdhuipodcast/Ce podcast est produit par Canard & CieMusique originale de IKIGO.

This podcast is all about sharing the stories of the people making a difference to the Australian ecosystem. Few do more to champion and impact #startupaus then this week’s guest, Annie Parker.A coach, mentor and leader in the Australian startup community, Annie is passionate about helping founders achieve their full potential. She believes in the importance diversity, inclusion, and of paying everything forward!Annie has been delivering great results for 15 years in roles spanning digital, startup, technology & consulting. Having started her career as a management consultant back in the UK, she was quickly drawn to the world of startups and helped to set up one of world's first corporate accelerators with Telefonica's Wayra program.5 years ago she was seduced by Australia and decided to focus her energies on the local startup ecosystem, where she came to cofound Telstra’s accelerator program, Muru-D. Known for its investment and support of early stage startups, Annie and the team designed a program to give startups dedicated office space, fantastic acceleration services, and access to the experience and networking capability that Telstra can offer. The program has helped over a 115 startups and operates programs across Australia and Singapore. One of Annie’s biggest passions is Code Club Australia. In 2014, Annie realised that there was dirth of coders in the country and almost every founder had to outsource one of the most important role in the company. She took upon herself to solve this problem and founded Code Club Australia, a nationwide network of free volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for children aged 9-11. They have over 2000 clubs across Australia and over 175,000 children have learned the basics of coding, problem solving, collaboration, creativity and think like entrepreneurs.Last year Annie took over the helm as Interim CEO of Fishburners, Australia's first tech startup co-working space, helping thousands of companies start up their businesses since launching in 2011. Her devotion towards Australian Startup ecosystem caught the eye of Microsoft and Annie has just been appointed as the Global Head of Startups for Microsoft. The Microsoft Accelerator works with 647 companies globally which have raised $US3 billion in funding, and will soon be bringing their Scale Up program to Sydney, to help companies scale and  make a global impact.This is a wonderful conversation between Ian and Annie where they look back at some of the amazing work Annie has done for #startupaus and peek into the next big problems she’ll be taking on. Go Annie!

The attitude of the British mainstream press when covering technology companies is often one of 'risk and scepticism', says TechCrunch Editor at Large Mike Butcher. But what if instead of predicting failure or projecting concern journalists took a more positive view of technology entrepreneurship? Speaking to Seedcamp partner Carlos Espinal, Mike explains how TechCrunch’s policy is to ‘bat for the entrepreneur’, supporting and advocating for their success. He describes the process of taking this Silicon Valley-style approach to tech writing and injecting it into European journalism, including his early days as the ‘Arthur Dent of the tech writing world’ when such writing was almost exclusively focused on US companies. Mike is Editor at Large of TechCrunch, the biggest breaking news site about the world’s hottest tech companies. He founded the The Europas Conference & Awards, the charity Techfugees and has been an advisor on startups to the British Prime Minister and the Mayor of London. He is also a co-founder at TechHub. Tune in to hear more about how founders can best narrate and tell their story, the evolution of tech journalism in Europe, and some of the next big problems founders should concentrate their energies on.
