Big Birmingham Hackathon 2022
Layman's description
The Big Birmingham Hackathon Round 2 occurred on the 17th February 2022. The purpose of the Hackathon was to innovate a technology solution to encourage and support people from migrant communities wishing to enrol onto English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses in Birmingham (UK).
Key findings
When a migrant arrives to a country with a different language the barriers they face multiply. Basic and fundamental tasks such as grocery shopping, attending doctor’s appointments, or registering for public services become great obstacles to navigate.
The overall aim of the winning solution is to address the needs of (im)migrant groups within Birmingham and allow them to integrate and participate in their local communities.
