@globalschool Report - Day 1 - Welcoming Monday (interviews & #crypto-education sessions)

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

Whats a wonderful day! Today we started the new cycle of the @globalschool.

Earlier in the morning, with @manncpt and @gexi we met at Hug Inn, then around 10h30 we headed to the welcoming session of the @globalschool.

Peter our colleague and partner briefed me on the last administrative details, as you can see my hands were full and we will have some work to do after leaving the students to make all this documentation in order.

Listening carefully to all the partners before to start our introduction session.

After the admnistrative exchanges were done, I started to introduce myself, our organization and the ecosystem in which the students will be cooperating the next weeks. Followed the group "or delegation" of supervisers and of the teachers.

To not start to overwhelm the students we decided to postpone their presentation in individual interviews, each student having to present to each of the mentor individually. However as this session will take the time it needs, I invited all the students to get to know more about blockchain and crypto currency. And we let them 30 min to prepare for their interviews. In the meantime, we get to know more about the sending organizations and their new members.

@gexi and @manncpt took each the relay to provide more information about #steem and the #steemit platform while I introduced briefly #ono.

Then I gave the first challenge to the group, each of the students had to imagine with the few information we provided a visual to explain what is #cryptocurrency while one by one, each of them was making the 3 successives interviews with our team members present today.

The task to create a visual about crypto currency was definitely a relevant idea to be able to evaluate their understanding of English, of the previous session, their interpretation and creativity on short term goals.

After the interview we made a lunch break before to review their artworks and provide them feedback.

We were all really amazed to see the amazing creatvity and skills of the group. Afterward, before to divide the group for some team building activities, we explained them about the #introduceyourself tag. Then, we divided the group in 3 working groups:

The groups will be divided in smaller groups and with another setup in the next days each with more specific missions and channels to take over.

As soon as the groups had been formed we started to get more information and coached our team to create an #Introduceyourself post to be published tomorrow.

Around 16h30 we finished this first day together by explaining the planning of tomorrow and be sure we replied to a maximum of questions while ensuring the students to be able to contact us if they need.

What I can say from today is that I/we all were really amazed by the group of this new cycle and we can't wait to see how the groups will evolve during this week which is full of challenges and will not be rythmed as the forthcoming weeks as we have our launch event on Friday with @artcanhelp and @ionart.


Such challenge wouldn't be possible without the dedication of awesome people! Thanks for your amazing work. I am looking forward to the next days to pursue on such great achievements!

Tuesday planning

On Tuesday we will really start working. Here is the goals we would like to achieve:

In the morning:

  • Finalization and reviews of the introduction posts.

Afternoon

  • A first group @com-lab of 4 students composed of 2-3 traditional art enthusiasts and 1-2 media reporters will join Philipp, CEO of @ionart to cooperate on an wall painting for @artcanhelp to prepare the event of the 14th.
  • The second group (@globalschool and @ccommons.art ) will work on the finalization of the presentation for the 14th.
  • The third group (@blocktv) will start producing short movie and interviews for the awarness and crowdfunding campaign which will be launched around the 14th.

Welcome to all students! Can’t wait to meet them on Wednesday

Be prepared to guide them, they will love to cooperate with you. :) They are making an amazing creative work! I am sure you'll find out how to cooperate with them to finalize together contents and visuals for the SPs platform, and notably take over the @onoschool, @onofoundation and @onocenter during their stay with us, I can't wait to see you on Wedensday! :)

You will love them, they are really creative. Soon we will publish their creations, stay tuned! ;)

Nice start for all the students, then program looks really interesting! Enjoy the learning and I hope to see you soon :)

Thanks @bertille-aa :) It has been a good start for all of us! Hope we will all learn a lot during this new @globalschool year! I can't wait to see you around to take other steps with all our exciting projects! :)

Really interesting guys, what you are doing. I am a director of WiseCoLab, and decided to post on Steemit about what we are doing, which is an education project in India, leading up to a hackathon in August 2019.

I will be interested to follow you. We will be conducting 'train the trainers' for teaching young people about the blockchain, and hope to borrow your 'draw your impression of blockchain' - very happy to acknowledge that we saw it first at Globalschool. Thanks for leading the way !!

Thanks for stopping by and dropping such encouraging message! I am glad we can connect thanks to this platform which has a lot to offer to synergies and social developement. =)

I am definitely following you too and would be glad if we can ways to cooperate for exemple by organizing something in parallel of your sessions here in Austria. Your project sounds awesome and is very inspiring for me too. Please let me know if I or we can be of any support. We will have a lot of students ready to cooperate on various sectors all along the year. Looking forward to read from you!
