I was asked to tell you a story
history a story of humanity and
technology more precisely a
history of new places for
humanitarian aid and the development of
new places where people like you and
I can go to learn
share places full of news
technologies of the places where humanity gets
mix with technology
the story begins in 2014 at home
has been a handyman for many
generations since several thousand
thousands of generations I think
probably like you and so it’s
not surprising that one April night in
2014
this picture was taken while
I was assembling my first
3D printer
these technologies finally allow me
do not know if you are familiar with these
new technologies its technologies
digital manufacturing make it possible to
create just about anything from
of any material it is
less what we hear about when we
hears in the media
this technology as I worked at
the time at the International Committee of
the red cross I started to
to be interested in seeing how are we
could use it for action
humanitarian
when we talk about 3d printers we
is talking about a series of tools that we
appoints or can be released or
can categorize under technologies
digital manufacturing or manufacturing
digital
the first machine was created in 1952
these digital machines allow
to do the work so
repetitive without getting tired and with a
extreme precision
the difference between machines and
mainly the tool we put in
end and that will be controlled by
computer
these machines obviously have benefited
advances in technology and are themselves
miniaturized have increased in power
of calculation and have become much more
simple to use
we talk about technology
exponentially currently the
technology evolves at a pace that
accelerates
more and more the same obviously
for these new machines
3d digital printer manufacturing
laser cutting machine etc
here we see a machine that has been
developed a little over ten years ago
it is a reprap all mounted it costs to
about 200 francs and you can the
build yourself by taking
do it yourself parts of next door this
machine has the ability to reproduce
we print the orange pieces and we
buys different materials to
again in another two and so
following the next step
we have four and so on we have
8 and then we finish after four sites
manufacturing to have 16 machines
so after four cycles of manufacturing
is able rather than doing a
object at a time we will be able to
do 16 at a time and I like this
image to represent the technology
exponentially these technologies these
new manufacturing technologies
who have become much more
affordable have places these places
is called fab lab it’s a
contraction actually that stands for
digital fabrication laboratory at
turning of the millennium
these new spaces that allow the
people to be creative to solve
problems of making the prototypes and
other objects started to
develop we have more today
from 1200 around the world
it’s spaces where obviously there is
machines but machines to him
intended for the use of the hand one has
local communities but also we have a
by this mass of fab lab
we now have a global committee
who are interested in sometimes projects
like these new places and obviously
his people and especially because
called before handymen
do-it-yourselfers have always had some of our
days we always got the same at the
difference only one day they have
access to technologies we had
not before it’s technologies that
let you share
instantly with the world to see this
that other people have done
to inspire and solve problems
together we call them the maker or
it’s not really the translation of
handyman
but it is nevertheless the term
recently standardized in language and
among this fringe named heart we see
also some of the best ones obviously who
emerge and who wants to do it
the impact who want to change the world
who want to make it better just
cleaner and so on
I think that nicely you see where I
want to come
this idea that these new
spaces that now enjoys little
near the whole earth except the places
the most complex and back off how
can we adapt them and
make it useful or how are we
can benefit the world
humanitarian the world of development
so we already identified three cases
of use supra ordinate
support for humanitarian operations
logistics and so on with the
advertised capacity is already real of our
days to create what we need where we
needs it when you need it
obviously it will improve again in
the future
another use case that would be there
promote innovation in the
humanitarian sector by exposing
humanitarian to this news
technologies to these new approaches
and the third case that interests us
here obviously a lot more is
empowering people
affected or the people who are suffering
either a conflict or a disaster
natural or other social conditions
adverse economic
we will see what adaptations are
necessary to those places that are at
we relatively easy to imagine
we have electricity we have
connectivity we have relatively
easily funding locations
of education and other things like
peace for example now you
imagine deploying a fab lab such as I
described in a place where there is no
Electricity not only pasta
connectivity or potentially and the
conflicts and you already have a
circumstance that is a lot more
annoying
so what will be the adaptations
necessary that we will be able to
room to nevertheless be able to deploy
its new spaces and so there we have
started now last year in
done with an organization that you
know walk all men’s land
we have proof of concept and we have
deployed a fab lab humanitarian in a
concept in a forgiveness in a context
refugees in greece refugees who
come from the middle east conflicts
have generated a certain amount of
shifting
these people usually stay
a few months in greece before their
fate be decided to what they
continued what’s left is what they
go home and so on and
so third of the men wanted to see
that she knows what would be the impact in
made of these of these new spaces of
these new technologies these
new opportunities for refugees
we’ve deployed a fab lab is actually the
first effects are notable on
note a positive impact on the side
psychosocial on the integration of
individuals the lab fab and not just
open to refugees but also to
local population there is education
informally who is who companies with
regular activities motivate
people to learn and so on
but obviously even if this first
experience has so far
well-marketed and harvested
data that we know how many people the
frequent the place
it does not tell us necessarily what is
the real impact on individuals so that’s
would be a first obviously major challenge
that must be overcome to show that
our approach has value for
show this impact
it’s not enough to collect data
daily demographic stage and the
display on the screen you have to be able to
a little more longitudinal study on
the impact of these places this news
practices of this social exhibition
about the beneficiaries or the
users a second challenge obviously
you imagine it is the infrastructure
this is a typical place or
potentially to burkina faso we’re going
want to deploy one of these fablab
humanitarian or there rather in a
development context
it’s places where places
humanitarian contexts the humanitarian or
Development contracts are
shipments places that are almost by
complex definition 10 difficult times
access and sometimes in crisis
obviously there are the first problems
we’re going to meet it’s going to be
electricity connectivity by
example how are we going to do
this march and its machines
a second a second challenge that
obviously is a bit all related we speak
of the same situation
it’s going to be logistics how is this
that we are going to convey the things that are
we will find available on site
and how are we going to avoid
having to make a systematic port of
hardware spare parts
diverse and varied then we could if
possible try to use the
resources that are available in
is in environments in the
surroundings in the surroundings and
obviously that’s also a big
problem to solve another son
lack of schooling or
early school leaving have a lot of
young people do not go to school
those who return to primary school or to
secondary risk of going out for
multiple and varied reasons and how
are we going to be able to work on
a base that is not necessarily always
very stable with young people who have not
not necessarily the knowledge that our
children here or in developed countries
could privilege could have
so there are not only challenges and then
I do not quote them all I tried to
focus a little bit on the
main ones there were also the elements
of answer obviously if we do not have any
electricity we will do like people
on the spot we will produce it to the happy
and usually produce it with
gasoline or diesel generator
but in most cases the most
advanced in quotation marks we will find
use for example here the panel
solar that drives a fan in
this case and who pump fresh air
at 70 meters deep where the person
who is digging in this in
this well needs fresh air obviously
to do his job and to survive
so we will try to develop this
renewable energy approach
another answer element it’s going to be
to do the most already to buy what we
can on site or in the vicinity
and if possible to do what we can
in a fab lab close or in the
region
there we see a machine
a 3d printer that was built at
gaza they have six others they have a
small factory where they actually loans they
produce useful medical pieces
because not available to gas and by
example just to give you an idea
of what was produced on this
3d printer that promised cost of
new less than 200 francs
well here is a stethoscope that all
recently was looted reviewed
by peers and who works as well
because head at the scope to 300 francs then
that this one costs only 3 3 francs
3 cents so you see
potentially the interest that these
new technologies may have
specifically as in contexts
at gasa another answer element
obviously it’s helped the revalidation
waste reclamation when I get you
say we have problems
logistics infrastructure
obviously bring raw material
which could be used in these fab
lab as we would do here at
united states in europe
elsewhere in our country
there it’s not going to be possible we’re not going
to go buy the multiplies in
poplar or I do not know what
and then, but to cut it out
milling or cutting machine and lasers
or have finally had to profuse for
to print objects in 3D against this
that there is enough is enough
impressive is there is a there is a
inexhaustible source of materials that
could revalue transform the
plastic bottles made of filaments
for 3d printing and and others
approaches that could be used
in this way I quote there for example
initiatives like precious plastic
who develops exactly is these
technologies and holidays are approaching a
other answer element as con as
we can bring here it’s in the case
specific to gaza in the camp cade
refugees where people actually are like
at gaza they can not really
most of the time at least leave these
refugee camps but nevertheless want
have an activity
participate in the community
inclusion in the digital economy
the digital economy it’s all this
virtual economy it’s worth
billion now and that’s in
constant increase
we can buy things on the web on
no longer needs to go to the store
I can design and objects of
works of art or useful solutions I
can sell them and you can
buy on the web also it becomes
completely said virtualized here we see
mahmoud to gaza actually who works
since without borders an angie to
local that allows people to
digital professionals of gaza gaza
several universities but only one
million inhabitants
so there is plenty of digital know-how
and digital on the spot but against
he can not work particularly
for the local market to work
nevertheless he has been working since
Arab and other markets and sell
their skills abroad
we could very well imagine
similar approach for refugees or
other places where people would have
difficult to see a
employability with activities
local
another element of answer again is
train the trainers and there we are
really for the sake of sustainability
how can we ensure the
durability of a place like its
sustainability because potentially
budgets of the humanitarian program or
development will cut the fab lab
will have no more budget but nevertheless he
interest the community so a
obvious approach is to work
on training of trainers do in
so that teaching curriculums that
be promulgated in the fab lab
gently allow the base
of users to come and bail out
and animate the place itself again cited
a major asset human curiosity
everywhere I have been I have visited several
country there in recent years is actually
Humans are very curious see it
of technology is wondering how is
which can use it how it is
that they can benefit from it and they
learn very quickly actually the
younger ones even faster with
the 16 seconds that I have left
still wanted to talk to you about the sequel
so we have a first fable habran greece
there are others that are planned
in ukraine in romania to gaza as I
spoke to Djibouti in Burkina Faso and
Kenya
the purpose the maintenance and develop
really 7.7 this consortium that will us
allow advanced to have other
partnerships
other humanitarian organizations
to interest private sponsors or
foundations and so on for
develop the model to learn from
proof of concept differences that we have
set up and ultimately
formalize an approach that will allow
and humanitarian sectors
development to deploy lab fab
these new digital spaces in
their context
here I thank you for your
attention and see you next time
