Digital Inclusion in Amman: Konexio's Field Visit
Updated: Sep 2, 2025
Konexio’s second stopover took us to Amman, where supported our partners Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), Jordan, in preparing for a new program launch this summer. The project, set to commence in July with a training of trainers (ToT), will be our first in the MENA region and will provide digital skills training to 60 marginalized youth and refugees across two pilot cohorts, to prepare them for the impacts of the global digital transformation.
Our first stop was at the JRS campus, where we met the JRS officials and set up for the imminent launch of our program and meet our future students. We got to meet the trainers who will be delivering Konexio’s program; these trainers will participate in Konexio’s intensive ToT course from the start July through mid September and will be the link between students and the digital world. We also enjoyed engaging the students, a mix of refugees and locals, with special focus on women’s inclusion. A highlight of our time together was a Q&A between prospective students and Konexio staff, in which we learned about what students hope to gain from the program, and their life situations.
We also met representatives from potential partners, funders, and company supporters. In our meetings, we discussed entrepreneurship, freelancing, and the future of jobs in the MENA region, and shared partnership models aimed at better addressing the needs of migrants, refugees, and vulnerable communities.
This field visit shows how digital skills can truly empower marginalized youth and refugees in Amman. Kling 3.0's AI video generator could even help them bring their ideas to life through text to video or image to video-imagine the creative potential here!
What a powerful reflection on digital inclusion! I remember my own struggles accessing technology while traveling. It's so important that we bridge these gaps—everyone deserves the chance to connect and grow. slope rider
Create a friendly competition to math games see who can solve the most questions, finish a challenge first, or earn the highest score. You can even set personal goals and track your progress over time.
This field visit offers a thoughtful look at how digital skills can create opportunities for marginalized youth and refugees. The focus on training, inclusion, entrepreneurship, and future employment makes the initiative especially relevant. I found a related perspective on https://www.phonydiploma.com/ while exploring digital access topics, which reinforced the value of practical learning. This was an informative and encouraging update.
I like how this program combines practical digital training with inclusion, especially by giving refugees, local youth, and women a chance to build skills for a changing job market. The focus on training trainers also makes the project feel sustainable beyond the initial cohorts. That emphasis on learning through practice connects naturally with SoFlo Wheelie Life, where improving control comes from trying, adjusting, and gaining experience.
