Скачать или смотреть Refugees United - Christopher Mikkelsen - BOLDtalks 2013

Social entrepreneur Christopher Mikkelsen co-founded Refugees United in 2008 with his brother David Mikkelsen based on a personal experience trying to reconnect a young Afghan refugee with his family.

Realizing the lack of any global, IT-based infrastructure to help refugees locate missing family, the two brothers set out to change these state of things and built the first-ever global, web-based search tool for refugees. Refugees United was built via an open-source, collaborative approach to building an organization via partnerships with large corporate players as well as other non-profit organizations such as the Red Cross, UNHCR, Ericsson, SAP, Google, and others.
Christopher and David Mikkelsen are members of the Clinton Global Initiative 2010 and 2011, have been named "New World Heroes - People who deserve a bigger stage in 2009" by Monocle Magazine, nominated as "People of the Year 2009" by DAS Magazin, and have been nominated as PopTech Fellows 2011.
