In this episode I interview Ali and Marcello the founders of Re:Coded.  Re:Coded trains talented youth in underserved communities to become software developers, designers, and leaders in their communities. They currently work in Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, and Yemen. In their own words: We started Re:Coded because we believe that young people affected by war should have the opportunity to enter the digital economy. With millions displaced in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey, job opportunities are  sparse and primarily in the informal sector, where the pay is low and exploitation is high. That is particularly concerning for young men and women with a university degree and a dream of a better tomorrow. We cover a range of topics: How they came across the idea How they launched their pilot The challenges of launching a school in a war zone The impact that they are having short term and long term.
