I first heard about One Digital World in 2019. In Samos, a Greek island just off the coast of Turkey, which, due to its location, made it one of the front lines of the European refugee crisis. There, hundreds of refugees and asylum seekers who were forced into a small and vastly overpopulated camp lived ill at ease with many of the island's residents. It was a beautiful island, but the situation there was hard and at times tensions ran highAt the time, One Digital World was more of an idea than a fully-fledged organisation, a curriculum sustained and supported by some of the charities who had managed to procure a former shop to function as the first computer lab specifically for refugees on the island. There, one too-hot afternoon I met Casey, the founder and director of One Digital World. The lab was empty at the time save for some ill-fitting, unpainted wooden desks, a glass wall that seemed to focus the green sun into something unbearable, and a barely functioning air conditioning unit that had the unfortunate habit to drip liquid right where we had planned to place some laptops. This is what I saw. But I soon came to realise that Casey saw a tremendous opportunity and had the passion, skill and strength to see that opportunity come to fruition. Then, merely weeks later, that computer lab became one of the most popular places for migrants on the island, with the first few One Digital World courses being booked out for months within days of being announced. Seeing this, and hearing about the curriculum, how people who passed the course would level with recognised and certified skills in computer literacy, would develop their English language skills and even build a basic but fully functional computer by scratch. I realised this was a programme that could truly be of lasting benefit. Indeed I saw its impact first hand. In fact, for some of the students, participation in One Digital World's classes was the first piece of structured education they had ever experienced. Since that time, I have seen One Digital World has grown from strength to strength. Growing from an interesting curriculum to an organisation with an international reach. Though I have long since lost touch with the organisation I started working with while in Samos, I have tried where possible to continue to engage and assist with One Digital World where I can, even though I live in a different continent. Why is this? Because I truly believe with its mission and its impact and given its continued growth, an army of supporters (some of whom are students from that initial lab in Greece), and increased renown and recognition. I certainly am not the only one.
