SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Invite our Co-Founder to your Events

Include an appearance from Aline Sara, an experienced speaker at events such as TechCrunch, the World Bank or Falling Walls, for an even deeper dive into the creation of NaTakallam from the ground up.

Aline Sara is the co-founder and CEO of NaTakallam, an award-winning social enterprise that hires displaced & conflict-affected persons and their host community members as online language tutors, teachers, and translators. With a background in journalism and human rights, Aline is working to disrupt the ways in which we typically think of humanitarian aid and leverage the digital economy to promote sustainable solutions to major crises such as forced migration.
In 2015, in light of the challenging work situation for the million+ Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and while searching for ways to practice her own Arabic skills, Aline came up with the idea for NaTakallam, which has grown into a global social enterprise working in multiple languages and communities.
