Deca Presentation staff - looking for 2 posts
What is the function of Deca? Amani digital expression community area --- space (not a center) space for techies, artists etc for work on their projects – co-working space building on work of camps - with same spirit - ie creative activities to foster self-expression - with a focus on digital tools - youth replicable model
What community does Deca provide for? Naira in a sense 2 communities: adef community and community of interest in Mq (techies, artists etc who may not have a space) --- anyone who is interested wherever they are in Cairo moqattam community - which are communities --- is diverse - from villas to zebelleen building a deca community --- which will take time young people - (camps 12-15) - but we will work with broader range
How are Deca and Adef related? Hana building on what adef does well - as well as a new phase and a learning experience for the whole organisation not a separate entity - part of each other --- separate but related :-) - transfer knowledge, attitudes, ideas etc to deca and vice versa! same principles and ideas same staff - and more :-) moqattam stakeholders to be added to adef stakeholders board - so added to adef replicable

Programme ideas and other ideas ppl have come up with
film (long-term few months, one day workshops), art, drama, sound, music --- even non digital activities might have a digital aspect – story telling – a bit of filming/recording emergency workshop for filmmakers who learn how to cover conflict zone – safety etc, filming well in chaotic setting, your rights to cover etc - rental equipment body projection workshops newspaper thing community newspaper – recycled paper dalia rizkallah – based on adly rizkallah's work library – community owned and activities around it (workshops, scavenger hunts, story-telling) radio alwan wa awtar – some of the people have been involved in the camps urban challenge What challenges have we and do we face? Self-sustainability and funding decision-making deca (autonomy from adef?) what systems need to be in place so that adef support the new deca community location of deca – both that moqattam is far from ppl who might want to use the space, and is far from some ppl in moqattam outreach not many ppl in adef familiar with Moqattam and we are not known in Moqattam --- how do we become a part of the community of Moqattam building trust recruitment – want to employ someone who will be not just an employee but the soul of deca who will impact the shape deca takes (can you think of anyone) ppl have feedback or ideas on these challenges
