Greetings to all,
We are a recently registered Greek NGO (http://revivegreece.org), and we are trying to build a refugee coding school in Athens. So far we only had e-Learning courses, with a combination of non-real-time MOOCs and real-time interaction with our volunteer educators all over the world, and through some basic equipment which we were giving to our students to transform their smartphones to micro-computers (i.e., Bluetooth keyboards, power-banks, and prepaid SIM cards with 25 Gb of data.month/student). Here is a demo of how we did it so far:

Jordi from the Labdoo team suggested making a post here, after she checked with the head of Labdoo in Germany, and found out that right now they are overwhelmed with many projects so they would not be able to serve our request until early next year. But we have promised to our beneficiaries that we will start courses before the end of October, and we intend to keep our promise.
Is there any other hub in Europe who may be able to pick up our request? If so, we will pay a transport company to undertake the task, but this hub must be located in a European country of the Schengen area to avoid customs clearance.
Thanks to you all for your time to read this!
Theodore

Hi Theodore - I would love to
Hi Theodore - I would love to help but Switzerland is not fully part of Schengen which means that customs is a nightmare.
So unfortunately I can't - best of luck! Frank
Hi Frank, like you said,
Hi Frank, like you said, customs is a nightmare, that is why we are looking only for a Schengen country.
Thanks for your good intentions though!
Best!
