WHY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The enrollment in the Registry Office is the first step to have access to all other documents that are required to obtain benefits and services in the municipality (where you are registered). Without this enrollment and the registered residence, it is not possible to access the health service, receive an identity card, have access to training internships and work grants as well as renting a house with a regular contract, opening a bank account, etc. The difficulties encountered by migrants regarding the enrollment in the registry office are a clear understanding of the forms written in Italian; clear knowledge about the documents to bring at the first appointment, a long queue in front of the registry office, booking an appointment online.
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These difficulties complicate and delay the delivery of the services. Language difficulties from foreigners and employees must be considered as an additional barrier. There are no linguistic mediators. An improvement of the whole process would be very important in particular for foreign women who embark on\u00a0a path of emancipation by promoting real autonomy. The impact of the technological solution on the migrant population would be to facilitate the access to fundamental rights and thus support their\u00a0psychological and social well-being and their path of autonomy in the host territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE CHALLENGE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Create a technological solution that facilitates migrants the understanding of forms for registration (translated in the native language or in as many languages as possible); which provides information on the steps, required to have access to the service in terms of timing and offices; to find out which documents to bring to the appointment, what requirements are necessary to access registration and to book the first appointment online instead of appearing there in person. Many migrants struggle to find this relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ORGANISER<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Municipality of Palermo with the support of experts in social innovation. The registry office is a service\u00a0provided by the municipal administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOALS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the hackathon is to find the most compatible technological solution regarding the needs expressed by the users which facilitates the access of registration. This can have immensely positive impacts concerning the quality of their life achieving their rights & services and thus going forward in their path of authonomy in a new home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROJECT CONTEXT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

easyRights is a project that intends to improve some already existing public services for migrants by breaking down the language barriers that prevent migrants to have access to their rights. The solutions that will emerge as a result of the hackathon should be such as to integrate Artificial Intelligence applications and language technologies, developed by the easyRights project with existing services for migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
