A brief presentation providing an overview of the “ Intersect Town Halls and After Town Halls - Facilitated by Swarm” grant funded project was given at the end of the last Intersect Town Hall of May 2024.
The script of the presentation is outlined below.
1 - Intersect Town Halls and After Town Halls
Facilitated by Swarm
I'm pleased to introduce you to Swarm's facilitation of the Intersect Town Halls and After Town Halls.
2 - A Connected Experience
Publicity, planning and community research
Swarm is going to facilitate these Town Halls and After Town Halls every month, making them a connected experience. This means we'll coordinate the publicity, planning, and community research together. Our goal is to create Town Halls that are engaging, welcoming, well-publicized, and truly participatory.
3 - Swarm’s Town Hall History
We start them, support them and hand them over.
Now, a little bit about our history. Swarm has a solid track record of kickstarting Town Halls in various communities. We provide the initial support, knowledge, and mentorship needed, and then we step back to let the community take over. We've successfully done this in places like Project Catalyst in Africa, Latam, the Eastern Hemisphere, Europe, and the Pacific regions. Also, we've worked with SingularityNET’s Ambassador Program and DeepFunding Program. We typically take about 7 to 10 months to get things rolling, which fits perfectly with the time frame of this grant.
4 - Monthly Open Workshops
To engage the wider Intersect community in Town Hall planning
To keep the momentum going, we'll be running two open workshops per month. These workshops are for anyone in the Intersect community who wants to get involved in Town Hall planning.
5 - Tracking Topics, Contributions, Decisions and Ideas.
Town Hall and After Town Hall content becomes an Intersect community asset.
One of our key goals is to make sure all the topics, contributions, decisions, and ideas that come up during the Town Halls and After Town Halls are well-documented. This way, everything becomes a valuable community asset.
6 - Town Hall Playbook
Build a baseline and iterate on it
To help with this, we'll be adding to Intersect’s existing GitBook materials with a Town Hall Playbook. This will give us a solid baseline to work from and improve upon as we go.
7 - The Project Team
Felix Weber, Tevo Saks, Vanessa Cardui & Stephen Whitenstall
Let me introduce you to the team behind this project.
8 - Further Updates
Updates on Discord
And finally, for all the latest updates, make sure to check out our Discord channel. We'll keep you posted on all the developments there.
