This is one of the regular calls with the Spot the Future formal team to help us coordinate the work and catch up on how the project is unfolding in various countries. We expect (some of) the following to attend: [Nadia], [Noemi], [Matthias], [Alberto], [ArthurD], community builders and representatives of UNDP offices in Armenia, Egypt and Georgia.
The calls take place each week on Wednesday at 1 PM CET.
If you’re in agreement or you can’t make it simply comment below, thanks
PS If you’re a community member and would like to learn more about Spot the Future and how you can get involved, directly in a hangout or skype, drop us a line here and @Noemi
Thanks, Noemi - I’m still taking my baby steps in navigating the platform (playing with fonts mainly:))), but I hope this message reaches the STF team !
Just wanted to suggest to have a structured call:
1. Review of pending tasks for the week as per our workplan- status and deadlines
2. Agree on the next week tasks/activities
3. Raise any questions/issues.
And let’s keep it as a monitoring excercise to make sure we are on track and have shared understanding on how to proceed further. We can address or discuss country-specific issues on individual basis.
In terms of timing, let’s keep it to maximum of 1 hr, or even less :) What do you think? any suggestions?
I was thinking of joining as well to get a better idea of how video documentation for the project might work - even if I just lurk in the background and listen to what you guys have to say!
I would recommend we have another call for that, we’re still very early in the game and it’s a lot of planning and coordination with country teams.
I wouldn’t think this particular call will work, especially because Nadia can’t be in it and she’s the better suited to give you these details. how about we set another one when she’s back?
I am checking how many of us are able to make it to the meeting today because I am planning my day and I will be giving a workshop on upcycled crafts oday at 3PM CET, so if we meet at 1PM CET sharp, I will have 1,5 hours (then half an hours goes to transport from home to workshop place) which is still not so bad. I will be out the coming hour or two, so please someone send a short message to my phone (+37455310379) if we have a meeting (I use simple phone, which is a phone-phone, not a phone with internet and a other fancy settings so I can’t check my internet when I am out).
Thanks in advance and hope to catch up with you all soon!
I’d like to propose that we take (some of) tomorrow’s call time to discuss the upcoming workshops in as much detail as possible and put together a checklist with what needs to be done and who is doing it: participants list, presentations, email invitation, contact person etc Some of it is already in the Workshop Pack wiki here on Edgeryders, but let’s make sure we’re not missing out on anything…
Can I ask that we each give this a thought and list everything we need before the call? I’ve shared this document with the project team, if you need access let me know. See you tomorrow!
@paulienmelis you mentioned some time ago that you could share a workshop format that you guys are trying out… Would you mind uploading it in the shared drive so we can compare notes? Perhaps there are useful tips we can use to make the most out of the events next week… thanks!
A presentation where participants can learn about some of the things their peers are working on in other parts of the world, how spot the future works, and concrete calls to action for how they can get involved in making it awsome if they have 3 minutes,10 minutes or a couple of hours to spare.
Preparation required:
A landing page with instructions and the means to act on the call immediately, from that url. As well as a FB/twitter/print flyer that contains same information for them to take with them from the workshop and share with others.
Slides presenting 3 cool Edgeryders initiatives and a viualisation of how \#futurespotters works.
Prepare the documentation format and a form to sign up people for different things
A show and tell where people present their own work, and learn about some of the things their peers are working on in other parts of the world.
Preparation required:
If @Sam Muirhead and @Ahmed M Rabie put their heads together and agree on a nice format, what they need in terms of equipment, time etc. as well as where to post video documentation today.
Prepare instructions for participants and send it to them in the next day or so. We should not forget to ask them to rbing cameras, laptops and use \#futurespotters
Get a hold of the materials and equipment needed
Prepare the landing page for people to post, share and remix video, image and text materials for Spot The Future. NB: interaction needs to always drive participation here on the platform.
A creative concept to drive this.
Tools that can be embedded here on the Edgeryders platform (I haven't checked out popcorn or linklib.org, but they look promising)
A page on Edgeryders.eu platform where it all comes together. Like a less workintensive version of weneedtotalk.
Routine for uploading content into one account (vimeo and youtube)
Write a follow up blogpost *with some of this post recycked in it* and email a link to it within the next 24 hours. This time it's not just to the participants in Egypt, but to everyone.
Prepare twitterstorm instructions based on Ben's post and link to past successes. Engage workshop participants to join in.
