CONCEPT
Refugees escape war, totalitarian regimes and persecution. Paradoxically, they frequently end up in refugee camps where freedom of choice and democracy are limited. The online platform and app Refu.rendum gives refugees the possibility to vote on topics related to the camp they’re stationed in and on refugee status in general. The platform gathers and publicly displays the results in real time. This information can be used by authorities to respond to developments and document their work online. Refu.rendum also aims to present refugees not as people with lots of needs, but as individuals with opinions, capable of contributing to the improvement of their community.
