Popis: Mutual respect and appreciation are the keys for integrating different groups into the society. We address in our work the special case of illiterate craftsmen in Egypt. Our research has shown that due to the illiteracy, they are excluded from the social mainstream, while paradoxically, we felt as illiterates in their world. Current solutions and services do not provide a two-way communication between illiterate and literate people that would help closing the gap. Face-back is a service that aims at bringing both worlds together by taking away the anonymity that leads to stereotypical ways of thinking.
