As some of you might have realized even if I really wished, I couldn't join to the steemit-austria meetup of today as I was stil busy preparing last things for tomorrow and the arrival of our first group of 12 students with the help of @gexi. In this article you'll find a bunch of things on what I am currently doing and some struggles while working on social projects as it is usual in that field while building a new institution with passionated people: the opportunities that bring real human challenges.
Fortunately for this new @globalschool cycles I found already some support thanks to @opt2o, @manncpt, @mammasitta, Philip from @ionart and @gexi from @mukit. As I said, last year finished with this big drama for me in which someone with a fake identity stole my equipement and some of my intellectual property while agressing my colleague and emtpying my room. So I lost a lot of time, money and motivation for a while and I needed to take a moment to get back to myself.
For the moment we organized with the motivated mentors a workspace in islands, meaning we will divide the students in small groups, each on their missions and we will work with the mentors depending on their tasks of the moment and the guidance they need to accomplish their goals.
Additionally to the support organized last year thanks to @alexandravart and @ccommons.art as well as slowly with the @com-lab on discord, additionally to our pool of remote mentors, some of our mentors will be joining locally during these next cycles. For the moment we are already sure the following motivated mentors will be cooperating from next week on:
@mammasitta will
@manncpt is notably in charge to
Philipp from @ionart is joining the team to support and
@gexi from @mukit and his incredible focus will support me with
@yinundmann will
@jnmartau (me)
10h Meeting at the Hug Inn to check the last info with the team;
11h Welcoming session with the students;
For those interested by the @ideamachine project at the origin of the @globalschool story and askedme more info, in betwen various things, I just get the time to re-up the http://internetofideas.eu so hopefully we will be able update it in the next weeks with our students. Please do not hesitate to give feedback, I know we have to put more info, it is a hard time to synchronize the community to get all the data. :P
With the @onoschool we are doing our best to organize a meeting between Philipe from @silkroad and the Ono team after making the Cheng Du conference planned soon.
While taking the time to understand the priorities on how support the ono SPs, I decided to start coding the new SPs platform to present the initiative of the SPs with the support of notably Gloria, Katie and @mammasitta who are gathering the data and are doing their best to guide me while the other SPs are really encouraging and busy working hard (so I couldn't resist).
There is a lot of work to develop and maintain a healthy community. I am glad as the newone to be able to show the amazing work done by the active community of SPs with this platform.
Here the first previews of what I could do starting from scratch and using only Materialize framework and mostly javascript.
In less than a week our first awarness campaign will be launched at the occasion of the Lotus charity event. Stay tunned to keep updated and know how you can participate to this event against FGM.
If you are a steemian that supports our idea, there are many ways you could help!

You can also help reward and recognize quality content on the #blockchain by following our curation trail. Even if the monetary value is limited, your upvote will still be a big encouragement for an independent explorer, learner, creative or entrepreneur just starting out, and motivate them to make better content in the future.
