Ankore
Provide refuge seekers with a safe passage
Ankoré aims at improving humanitarian aid at sea, by focusing not only on the basic needs but also providing psychological relief through a redesign of the human-centred experience and empathetic aspects of rescue missions. After a careful analysis of the current protocols and standards of rescue mission operations on the Libya-Italy route, we propose an upgrade of the different systems of rescue vessels, taking into consideration the psychological impact on all the different stages of the rescue journey, improving psychological conditions to provide a sense of security and belongingness. As displacement problems increase around the globe, so will the need for services that provide humanitarian relief. This platform works as a template and starting point for upgrading and iterating on future solutions for rescue at sea.
