On Tuesday, @matteo_uguzzoni @LucijaKla and I met to discuss the plan for the upcoming months related to engagement of participants and general communication. Today Lucija and I drafted the strategy on which we will further work on, but it makes a good starting point.

- 3 events between early December and January

ENGAGEMENT METHODS:

- using Edgeryders platform to engage the existing community interested in the topic
- Personal contacts, 1 on 1 reaching to people who might be interested in participating

MATERIAL TO BE DEVELOPED / PLANNED TIMEFRAME:
- Short (one-page) attractive info about the project / mid-October (once the game is finalized)
- Comprehensive package: what is the project about, what we offer and what we need (both for printing and mailing) / end October - beginning of November
- Slide deck: to be used for presentations / November
- Newsletter / starting from December once the call for participants is out
- Social media material: to be shared in FB groups and other social networks; teasers for Instagram / FB (engaging students from the Arts Academy in Split - Speculative Design to make some visuals) / November
- Calendar: all warm-up sessions and game sessions listed in a comprehensive manner (overview) / beginning of December
- User instructions: how to sign-up, what to expect…rules of engagement / beginning of December
While Matteo is finalizing the game, Lucija will do some research and create a list of all the people / groups / organizations we are planning to reach out to. We will document when and how we are doing that and the outcomes. And I will be reaching out to Arts Academy in Split to start discussing possible involvement of students.
If anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to comment.
