2020. The year, where everything is a little bit different than what it used to be. Due to the Corona virus, the idea for a physical meeting for the general assembly was abandoned. But gladly for us, especially in comparison to older pandemics that humanity has suffered from, our generation has an advantages – the technology to „meet“ at least virtually and catch a glimpse of each other’s homes.

On our call, on 12th of September, we remembered the projects and successes of the past year:

• Our Skybird programme in partnership with the Austrian Red Cross where Paul, Florian and Raphael were involved.
• YES We Care 2 lead by Chloé connected several social businesses and change-makers in 10 countries
• Paul working on the initiative for a report about “Technology and Education for the most marginalized Post-COVID-19“
• Florian being the project manager for a project starting in January in collaboration with Mladiinfo “mPreneur”
• Paul conducted an “Introduction to ICT4D” lecture at the TU Wien
• Noah and Josephs Webinar on breaking down barriers to coding
• Chloé collaborating with Watizat and Solidarité migrants Wilson and working on how to communicate with refugees in Paris
• A new Red Cross Netidee project in collaboration with our technology partner RISE
• TEQTogether Webinar with AnitaB and further collaborations where myself and Paul are involved

We also discussed ideas for our new website, legal requirements such as ICT4D.at’s budget 2020 and also held the election of our chair and vice-chair. Paul got reelected as our chair and we are very happy to have him lead our organization. Georg decided to step down from his role and I was elected as vice-chair. I would like to thank everyone again for their trust in me.
