Today I've got a peek into a totally different filter bubble. It was inspiring
to see so many engaged in welcoming newcomers! #otc17

Wanting to help poses the risk of being too paternal and not meeting newcomers
as equals. #otc17

This stool symbolizes the imbalance created by migration: social and personal
identity is lost, cultural identity strengthened. #otc17

Don't give help without asking. Educate newcomers how to express their needs so
they are able to take an active role in the act. #otc17

Ali Can of Germany's hotline for concerned citizens about how to talk to them.

How to encourage newcomers to integrate, especially if their local community
doesn't encourage that? Make great examples known! #otc17

Learning how the break that circle now. #otc17

Institutions, volunteers are overwhelmed, which reflects back on refugees for
whom it is hard to find support. #otc17

#otc17: it will be hard to find the sessions later if you don't announce the

#otc17 keynote on how to talk with "concerned citizens" was a good start: listen
and acknowledge their fears.

My 3 hashtags for #otc17: #coderbyheart (I ❤ to code), #ResourcefulHumans and
#OrganizationalHacking (because change is needed).

Cool Location! #otc17

On my way to #otc17 ... Looking forward to a day full of new perspectives.
