    YALLAH! – You all are hackers.

    yallah-headerFörderung: Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst

    Laufzeit: seit 2016

    Ansprechpartner: Konstantin Aal, Marios Mouratidis, Sarah Rüller

    Bei „YALLAH!- You all are hackers“ handelt es sich um ein internationales Austausch- und Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der Universität Siegen und der Birzeit University im Westjordanland in Palästina. Das Projekt wird durch das DAAD-Programm „Hochschuldialog mit der islamischen Welt“ gefördert und erstmals in 2016 durchgeführt. In zwei Austauschphasen von jeweils vier Wochen besuchen zehn Studierende der einen Universität das jeweils andere Land. Neben dem Kennenlernen von Region, Kultur und Menschen geht es auch darum, gemeinsam an Projekten zu arbeiten, bei denen lokale Problematiken im Vordergrund stehen. Ziel ist die gemeinsame Entwicklung von kreativen und nachhaltigen Lösungsansätzen, bei deren Umsetzung die Studierenden sich auch digitalen Fabrikationsmethoden bedienen, was z.B. im Fab Lab Siegen oder in und um (Hack-/Maker-/*-)Spaces in Palästina geschieht.

      [BibTeX] [Abstract]

      This poster describes the research around computer clubs in Palestinian refugee camps and the various lessons learned during the establishment of this intervention such the importance of the physical infrastructure (e.g. clean room, working hardware), soft technologies (e.g. knowledge transfer through workshops), social infrastructure (e.g. reliable partners in the refugee camp, partner from the university) and social capital (e.g. shared vision and values of all stakeholders). These important insights can be transferred on other interventions in similar unstable environments.

      Come_IN computer clubs are an established approach to support inter-cultural and inter-generational learning in German neighborhoods. We explore the adaptation of the come_IN concept to the Palestinian context as a means to bridge the social and economic divide that has plagued West Bank society for a period of more than six decades. Social exclusion, political conflicts and prolonged military occupation have kept the refugee camps in a perpetual state of marginalization. In this paper we report on our work in Al Amari – a Palestinian refugee camp adjacent to the city of Ramallah. We examine how the computer club enables the emergence of social ties among residents of the camp and university students acting as tutors. Even though the ties are small-scale and informal, they have the potential to generate new and wider opportunities for exchange that may eventually support more social integration between the camp’s marginalized population and the wider Palestinian population.

      We analyze practices of political activists in a Palestinian village located in the West Bank, who organize weekly demonstrations against Israel’s settlement policy and the separation wall. Over a period of 28 months, we conducted a field study consisting of eight days ‘on the ground‘ observation and interviewing, and extensive monitoring of Internet communication. We describe the activists‘ background and their efforts to organize these demonstrations under conditions of military occupation. Over time, we observe the role both digital and material factors play in the organization of protest.
