Strategies for self-help

The project is leading to a custom-made tool set and workshops to induce self-help in a post-crisis recovery phase or in long-term refugee camps. The aim is to involve the community and facilitate its economic development, initially showing the possibilities of employing local resources and following teaching them using new materials. It is demonstrated on the example of sustainable school furniture for children.

System purposes:

  • facilitate economic growth of the community
  • engage the community, people feel useful and not victimized
  • community building, facilitate socializing trough learning together
  • providing knowledge to improve people’ skills
  • create a sense of hope for the future
  • providing furniture to the children’ school in the community, which are a media and an example to develop the system.
  • possible creation of micro industry
