Our weekly google hangouts are a good way to meet people from across the world doing interesting work, and plan the work ahead. Especially if you’re new to Edgeryders and have a lot of questions about the event in Brussels, join this 1 hour community call to learn how to collaborate with others to make it a hit.
Short updates on the latest that’s cooking (partners and speakers management, who else we need to get in touch with, onsite developments at SmartBE)
To Dos: tasks that you, me and everyone else need to take in order to cover the work of organising an event with a very limited budget. If you can’t think of anything to do for now, consider joining The countonme mailing list: sign up to receive daily updates and share your ideas to help make the mailinglist work great in the next months; feel free to pick more tasks in the communication team, a priority at the moment.

Wait until online creatures like us get social face to face in Brussels This is from Lote2, 2012. Pun intended.
A couple of minutes ago I was at the hangout as first to join. Not sure if I was there at the right time. I just wanted to say hi but can’t make it a full hour today. Looking forward to next weeks hangout.
@Merel no worries, we were there though, maybe 2 mins after you left. Hope the notes are somewhat helpful. Anything on your mind, ideas of sorts that you want to share?
//Sessions in the making:
Book a skype call with Walter, Geralbine ..
ECOCs - needs contextualization - how ECOC maps onto cultural policy discussion (culture of extremism; connection between culture and people's ability to inject energy into the economy and change behaviours to adapt to changing reality). Noemi to do a writeup asap and send to speakers as a conversation starter!
Ezio Manzini's session: Services for refugees - do we have at least 2 people from Syria to commit to do it? Syrian catering folks.. Kira will be emailing asap.
For the last mile up to Lote5 we need a fully engaging campaign for upping participation and drawing more people in, whether it’s a series of local events built by Edgeryders in different cities, a twitterstorm or an email campaign.
To do on my end: Call for participation - unfail engagement | A storytelling workshop to produce communication for your project, where you leave with a communication kit: hi res photo, an engaging story and a short video. unfail fundraising | You leave with concrete skills on how to do fundraising, maybe a proposal that is sent out to prospective supporters by the end of the session. Nadia does the design, maybe we even hire a videographer + photographer for a small amount and make sure this is fully covered at Lote, as in someone is in charge.
