A recent project meeting led by Madeline Safavi and the AIT team has introduced an exciting initiative to help Ukrainian refugees integrate into Austrian society. The team, consisting of Ghazal Etminan, Mario Drobics, Bernhard Bürger, and Andres Carrasco, presented their plans to develop a digital toolset designed to simplify various challenges faced by refugees.
The project's main goal is to create a digital space where refugees can manage their own identity and documents. This tool will help them access important information, integrate into the labor market, and interact easily with employers and public agencies. The digital platform will include features for managing certifications and documents, applying for jobs online, and accessing legal support.
During the meeting, the team outlined the project's focus on using digital technology to make everyday tasks easier for refugees. This initiative is not just about immediate help but also about building a system that could be used more broadly in the future.
Madeline Safavi showed strong support for the project’s vision, emphasizing its potential to significantly improve how refugees adapt and thrive in their new environment. As the project moves into the next stages of creating a testable product and conducting user tests, the team is dedicated to making a meaningful impact with their work.
