14 | The annual Chaos Communication Congress, held by Europe’s largest Hacker | ||
15 | organization Chaos Computer Club (CCC), is this year presented with the | ||
16 | theme „[Gated | ||
17 | Communities](http://ccc.de/de/updates/2015/chaos-computer-club-ladt-ein-zum-32c3)“. | ||
18 | We are proud to welcome Somalian born Fatuma Musa Afrah as our keynote | ||
19 | speaker. | ||
20 | |||
21 | As a child, Fatuma was displaced and found refuge in Kenia, where after | ||
22 | studying developmental aid, she worked with kids in a refugee camp in | ||
23 | Dadaab, located at the border between Kenia and Somalia. Her work’s main | ||
24 | focus is on women and children. | ||
25 | |||
26 | In 2014 she – again – was forced out of Kenia and found a new home in | ||
27 | Germany, where, after living in the towns of Eisenhüttenstadt and | ||
28 | Bestensee, she now works and lives in Berlin. She continues her | ||
29 | humanitarian work and soon helped out as a voluntary English teacher in | ||
30 | a school. | ||
31 | |||
32 | In her keynote address, Fatuma Afrah will talk about her life, being | ||
33 | displaced twice. Combined with her perspective as professional refugee | ||
34 | aid worker, her story will allow an unique insight in refugee’s lives | ||
35 | and struggles. She will talk about her confusion arriving in Germany and | ||
36 | how to adapt to even the most basic concepts of taking a train and | ||
37 | paying for it. But we will also hear stories about her first encounter | ||
38 | with liberality. | ||
39 | |||
40 | Fatuma speaks of herself as a „newcomer“ to our society. It is us who | ||
41 | should offer our knowledge of everyday life and our help – not only as a | ||
42 | community of hackers. It is our goal to enable integration, using our | ||
43 | experiences, share our freedoms and to actively offer our support to | ||
44 | „newcomers“ like Fatuma. | ||
