 Thanks Johan and Moritz for the feedback !

It could be really intersting to meet Dewey association. But unfortunately
it would be difficult for me to be availible this Sunday…Christophe do you
want and have the possibility to contact them ?

If not I can write them an e-mail this evening to see if we can collaborate
in the event or if we can improve their map in this thematic?


For the brainstorming with people from these associations it's for me
really necessary to do it first especially to check the existing tools,
target the public - I don't think the homeless themselves could use this
kind of tools (unlike refugees / migrants who are an other kind of public)
but for sure it could be usefull for volunteers helping them…

So when would we plan the brainstorming : begining of December?

Cheers,
Maë//e
