Note: Organisation and planning on this website refer to the main event in Berlin. You are welcome to use them as base for further satellite events at other locations. But please be aware that we as organising team in Berlin cannot actively support other organising teams at other locations (but we are of course available for questions).

No event close to your location?

There are various possibilities if there is no #refugeehackathon planned in your town (yet) but you are nevertheless eager to help:

Travel to a hackathon: Currently we are still looking for travelling and accomodation allowance. It would be terrific if Deutsche Bahn would cover the travelling cost. In any case we plan to organise a car pooling and sleepover portal (please get in touch with us if you can help us with that).

Remote work: It is also possible to program, design and organise from home. If you are interested, please contact the organisers of the hackathon of your choice and ask for possibilities.
