Calling all academy trainees/interns to own your space!

Hope July 17th, 2022

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. As you know we have 5 academy sub-communities, these are spaces designed to support, entertain and guide you. These are your communities and in an attempt to add more content that is catered to the academy folks, what better way than give them the chance to do so?


Who can join this initiative?

Anyone associated with the academy!

Academy trainee/grad/team member


What is this initiative?

Anyone from the academy will have the chance to run series-based posts in any 5 of the 7 Cups Academy sub-communities. You will select one of the academy sub-communities and pitch a recurring theme-based chain of forum posts that you believe would either entertain or benefit academy people!


You will submit the idea through this form.


It is important that you have the availability to support the initiative for at least 8 weeks. You will have the chance to become an academy project agent focusing on the chosen academy sub-com if you do well with your project but it is entirely optional and not at all a requirement to join this initiative.


Here are some tips to ensure your ideas get approved!

  • Keep it simple, it does not have to be extra!

  • There needs to be a minimum of 1 post per week in the series.

  • Have a target audience, think about who would like to interact with your posts.

  • Value consistency over activity. It is better to dedicate 1 hour a week over 8 weeks than to dedicate 8 hours in one and week and then drop the project. Think of something that you can sustain

  • Do not underestimate the value of light-hearted posts. Giving people the chance to relax is just as important as educating them.


Example of such series:

Prompt of The Week: "You add warmth to my days."

Friday Fiction: Character Building


List of Academy sub-coms!

Note: These forum posts will most definitely count towards your forum post-related academy electives. If you end up becoming a project agent through the initiative, that will also count towards your leadership elective.

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

If the ice breakers revolve around a theme then yes! For example, you can create a questions series on gratitude ice breakers or you can ask academy-related ice breakers etc.

You do need to share a bit of context though to separate it from any other random ice breaker post. It needs to be a chain of posts and something that makes sense as a series
