Summary London - United Kingdom and Calais - France Tech is a relative newcomer to the refugee crisis, but its involvement has big implications across the board in the response to this situation. The most important thing is collaboration. Collaboration between those that are on the ground, and those that are in the office. Josephine is a co-founder of Techfugees, which works to bring together tech initiatives that create solutions to the crisis, and help them scale their solutions to meet these needs on a bigger scale. The Infobus is on the opposite side of the spectrum, it lives on the ground in the Calais Jungle refugee camp in northern France, it is a horse van outfitted as a massive hotspot run by two independent volunteers who live just outside the Jungle. This story shows the importance of collaboration between those working on the front lines and those coordinating from afar. Both are necessary to create lasting solutions to this crisis.
