GEMSI - Global Entrepreneurship and Makerspace Initiative is working this Fall in the Middle East to help promote a cascade of hackerspace formations.
Our first event is helping to deploy Lamba Labs Beirut Hackerspace, our second is the project described below, the third is a 2 day pop-up Baghdad Hackerspace formed in collaboration with TEDxBaghdad.
Rawaya wa Badaya is a program to help us draw out stories of engagement and courage. We will use the TEDx and GEMSI networks to gather stories (video and/or text via Facebook) and showcase the creative talent of community members as they come across challenges in their neighborhoods and cities. The top stories will be showcased to hackerspaces around the world during a GEMSI hosted live-streamed discussion. In addition, the top stories will be illustrated by a professional comic artist with plans for future publication!
