Upcoming event(s):
Hello all, the Edgeryders team are happy to meet you!
We are an international team and community, and our goal in 2020 is to connect people in constructive conversations about how to overcome the corona crises, how to rebuild our lives and communities, and how to be more resilient together. Ideally, to build new projects together which can support all of us! Events are a big part of these conversations.
Ahead of the events, this is where we collect expressions of interest, your personal motivations, and why this matters for your community.
Step 1. Make sure you register for an event organised by Edgeryders where we can get to know you.

The Terms below are meant to give you an idea of the work following a partnership agreement. They will be adapted to reflect the expectations of all partners.
Following the event, let’s explore together how to partner up to co-host other events to explore a topic in depth together with the community. Here are some ideas and expectations to make the collaboration more concrete:
Your organisation would be responsible for:
-
Task 1: Launch Event Invitations - targeted/ open calls in your own language. The event should aim to bring together people from your city and from other parts of your country to meet and share personal experiences on the event TOPIC.
Think about the event program: what is an interactive format you will implement? who in your community is going to open the conversation? who in your team is going to take notes and ensure extensive documentation? -
Tasks 2: Engage 30 people from different backgrounds in your village, town, city, country to register to the event and post an introduction about the event TOPIC on the edgeryders.eu online community forum.
-
Task 2.1: Disseminate the invitation and collaborate with the Edgeryders social media manager to do online promotion of the physical event.
-
Task 2.2: Collect participant registrations using the process defined by the Edgeryders team. We convert registration information into posts on edgeryders.eu authored by participants. Follow the process defined by the Edgeryders team for regular dissemination of participant-submitted posts, stories and discussions happening on the platform. Edgeryders will provide assistance with community management.

-
Task 3: Publish the program and other relevant information about the event. Work together with the people who you have engaged to ensure that the event is interactive. Make sure everyone is kept informed and knows how they can contribute.
-
Task 4: Host the event and make sure it is fully documented, following the guidelines by the Edgeryders team.
-
Task 4.1: Ensure participation of individuals from different socio-economic groups, educational levels, professions, ages, geographic locations
-
Task 4.2: Ensure each participant submit their personal reflections in a written article no later than 1 week after the event. A good measure for active participation is: 1 personal story and 3 comments per participant.
-
Task 4.3: Participate in the online discussions on the online form, starting by sharing your own answers to the questions, and reading and commenting on what others write.
-
-
Task 5: Produce an engaging event report: summary of what was discussed, photos and highlights from social media. Keep the participants list, their usernames and links to their platform contributions. They will be needed for your invoicing.
-
Task 6: Recommend two of the most active participants for entry in the POPREBEL Exchange Program that will happen in 2021. In the Exchange program, event participants with an ongoing project or research interest that is conducive to improving the situation in their local communities will be matched with a co-working, co-living or other event organisation in the Edgeryders network in a European country. Selected participants will be granted a fellowship to spend 1 week with the organisation and engage in deep learning. They will be mentored by the host organisation. The purpose of the exchange is to create a practical roadmap for improving an aspect of community life. The roadmap will act as a practical tool for the participant to accelerate their work upon returning to their country.
Edgeryders is responsible for:
-
Task 1: Make available all the information regarding POPREBEL background and previous stories on the event TOPIC(S).
-
Task 2: Ensure coordination of events across the Edgeryders network: collect input from organisers and produce weekly summaries to support all event organisers.
-
Task 3: Produce Participant Registration page for the event to ensure registrations are recorded on edgeryders.eu community forum.
-
Task 4: Disseminate the invitation and call for participation on the Edgeryders social media channels and its network of 6000 forum users.
-
Task 5: Community management: Welcome everyone who signs up to the platform, engages them to contribute, selects the best posts and threads from the platform and summarises them into weekly overviews.
-
Task 6: Produce guidelines for events documentation.
-
Task 7: Produce guidelines about how organisers can perform open reporting online.
-
Task 8: Ensure fair remuneration of event organisers (as per the Contract to be signed).
-
Task 9: Coordinate the Exchange Program in 2021. Support event organisers with recruiting participants for the POPREBEL Exchange Program. Match participants with Edgeryders host organisations and onboard them.
