CONCEPT

The (H)OUR Bank is a peer-to-peer online skills exchange platform that enables members of host communities and refugees to exchange skills for units of time (hours). The platform enables refugees to stay active, to network, to showcase and utilize skills, knowledge and capabilities. Users create an online profile that lists interests and skills. After profiles are verified, users can search for skills in their area. Users receive alerts if their skill is requested and can respond accordingly using (H)our Bank’s direct messaging service. ‘Transactions’ are verified and recorded post-interaction, and hours are allocated accordingly. Skills can be endorsed and feedback given on user profiles. Users can also post skills offered, news and share ideas on the (H)our Bank’s live feed.
