Hi! This is Lina from Yalla! A Palestinian developer, currently based in Turkey. I would love to share more about the event
We are planning to cover these topics in an Open Discussion!
- How did you start Yalla?
- Why choose Palestine? How has this decision changed your perspective on Palestine in general, and Gaza in particular?
- What are the local perceptions? How do people view working with the outside world, especially given that Palestine has been under blockade for the past 17 years?
- Why are cooperatives operating across Palestine important, and how do they differ from cooperatives elsewhere?
- How does remote work impact Palestinians, particularly in a cooperative setup? Why is it crucial to find opportunities?
- How has our cooperative model been affected by events in Gaza?
- What are other ways to support Gaza beyond fundraising?
Excited to see you all.
