The Ideas Box represents a major innovation in terms of access to information and culture in humanitarian crisis. A single Ideas Box provides the service and content equivalent of a small town library, serving approximately 5000 users.
 
The boxes unfold to become the furniture, and packed in them along with the digital tools are chairs and cushions, games, craft materials, a theatre workshop, and hard copy books. The language and contents are adapted to the specific contexts of the deployment areas
