A panel discussion and call for action, hosted by Cambridge Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Cambridge 4 Palestine and Decolonise Sociology.
The bombardment of Gaza since October 2023 has devastated Gaza’s infrastructure and upended normal life. Despite the destruction and loss of over 41,600 lives, some Gazans continue working as freelancers, embodying the resilience of the Palestinian tech sector.
Since 2011, Gaza Sky Geeks has provided freelancers, founders, and coders with the technical training and support they need to earn an income online and remotely. They call for collaboration and support in these difficult times.
Speakers:
Dr Wesam Amer, Visiting Researcher (Department of Sociology, Homerton and Jesus Colleges)
Haneen Bader, Community and Mentorship Officer (Gaza Sky Geeks)
Alan El-Kadhi, Program Director (Gaza Sky Geeks)
Date:
Friday, 1 November, 2024 - 17:30 to 19:00
Event location:
