Is ‘education in emergencies’ still a relevant term? Why or why not?
--SvenAERTS 09:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC) Yes, because of the Global Climate Destabilization, the number of emergencies will increase. Using the tools by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change it can be predicted where will most likely occur punctual or long lasting destabilizing effects, where regular education could be very much supported by emergency type of educations. An OLPC mobile school deployment where XO's carry all the books for a kid's education, including books on how to make a water filter, how to make some money by e.g. making soap, but also basic hygiene books on why it is important to wash hands, books on cholera or diarhea and other easily preventable diseases. The fact that the XO has is solar powered, has wifi ability might proof valuable too.
What topics and themes will be the most important for education in emergencies in the coming years?
- Making use of Miniaturisation, massification, instant, open source, open hardware, open community, open robotics solutions, linking up
Are there new partners, stakeholder groups or constituencies that are important to the work of the EiE community?
- OLPC and the olpc community initiative with their open source, open hardware, open robotics, open community, portable solar powered laptop school
What are the biggest challenges you are facing in your work?
- Obtaining a kick-start fund to set-up and evaluate an olpc emergencies department for say 3 years, evaluate the olpc experiences in refugee camps, reinforce those and do some deployments in emergency situations.
How are people working together to solve problems?
- OLPC uses open source, open hardware, open community techniques and technologies to make a laptopschool - OLPC uses a website and wiki. Special notice to the use of Category pages.
Is INEE still relevant to the field? Why or why not?
- XO deployments have been used in refugee camps. - It is possible to quickly get an overview by using the olpc wiki and the category page "Refugee Camps" --SvenAERTS 09:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC) Let's check the Refugee Camps pages and prepare an overview / evaluation. --SvenAERTS 09:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
What are INEE’s main strengths and main weaknesses?
How could INEE serve you and/or the field better?
- Obtaining a kick-start fund to set-up and evaluate an olpc emergencies department for say 3 years, evaluate the olpc experiences in refugee camps, reinforce those and do some deployments in emergency situations. - offer the use of of source-forge or google set-of tools = Virtual Office to members and partners
