An hour long meeting with the new house rules and agenda defined earlier in the week (see above).
Present on the Zoom call: @alberto, @amelia, @IvanC, @johncoate, @mariaeuler, @marina, @matthias, @nadia, @noemi, @wolha.
-
New Outreach strategy is introduced by @nadia – organisation of webinars accompanied by Premium Linkedin based campaigns.
- We search for possible participants using key words through the whole Linkedin database (Premium feature) and invite them via personalised automatised message system to the specific initiative. We follow their (positive) responses via email template which directs them to the dedicated form on the platform. There they can register for the event and meet the Edgeryders at the same time. Following the initiative, we contact them and propose the follow-up meeting to discuss possible collaborations.
-
This system can be successfully used for POPREBEL campaigns with personalised messages in the languages of various countries, but we need local people leading the projects to use their personal Linkedin accounts to that end.

Research : on the Supervisory Board Meeting on the 25 September 2020 the doubts were expressed on our capacity to deliver “the shadows of the populism”. Following the lines discussed on the previous meeting, we are hiring journalists to interview people on safety and politics. In order to render this content as rich as possible for the ethnographers’ data collection:
- conversations and not surveys must be created
- on the biweekly ethnographers meetings will be discussed the threads that may be interesting to explore
- active conversations will be tagged and prioritised
- we need to find a way to collect conversations from the higher levels of society also
- we introduce new topics – health: covid & consequences, neofeudalism – the Hungarian discussion
- we need to render the people from the consortium more present on the platform as experts and moderators
-
Community management: we continue on producing interviews in original language. In parallel with the journalists’ work, community managers will be reactive and concerned with what people have already said. This way they can produce a story and give flesh and bones to the people involved, asking questions not only on what one’s project/organisation is, but how it started, what were the challenges, which the effects of the political environment, funding etc.
- There is a lot of “manual” work going on – filtering interest and sending invitations.
- @wolha is exploring the possibility to include Magdalena H. Goralska, a digital anthropologist from Poland https://anthrocovid.com/1-2/contributions-from-poland/.
-
Tech: @matthias and @hugi are starting to work on the new version of the Graphryder, which will still relay on the Horizon 2020 project.
- @owen is working on the collection of info through forms on the platform. It is important that he sees it through.
18:00 The meeting is adjourned, a video registration will be kept for some time if necessary on the Zoom cloud.
Soundtrack from the beginning: Khruangbin - So We Won’t Forget
