Special Events on 7 Cups FAQ

What are special events?

"Special events" refers to events on 7 Cups created in honour of the various observances that occur within the world. This includes fun, silly days, awareness weeks and commemorative months, for example. You can view our calendar of observances here.

Why do you do these events?

On 7 Cups, we believe in trying our best to provide others with the opportunity to have a voice and to empower themselves. Awareness and general observance events can be extremely helpful in providing that opportunity, in diverse and interesting ways. They are about connecting with others in some way, allowing us to bond together on the given topic. They may also help us to spread awareness to as many people as possible, in order to create better understanding for many.

So it is our hope that, through these events, we can create a variety of opportunities for others to engage, bond, learn and grow from together... whilst having an uplifting experience along the way!

How do you decide which ones you celebrate or acknowledge?

We have a team of Special Events Organisers who choose the events they would be interested in organising for. If there is particular interest shown towards certain events, we do our best to honour them in some way too. There are so many events throughout the year, however, that it can be extremely difficult to plan for them all! However, we do our best and there is always next year.

I would like to take part, but how can I do this?

For both members and listeners, you can sign up to keep up with events. This will allow you to be informed whenever any special events are occurring. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to take part and, hopefully, not miss out on any discussions on the day, for example (time zone permitting)! For listeners, this additionally includes being notified of when we are looking for help (e.g., discussion leaders and forum writers, or even ideas).

You can also use this form (as previously mentioned above) to send in ideas for how to celebrate new or already listed observances. In addition, listeners can learn more about how to get involved in organising here.

I have written something for an observance on the forums, can you help to spread the word?

Absolutely. For example, the Chronic Pain & Illness forum section celebrates Health Awareness Days. You are welcome to let us know if you'd like us to spread the word about your relevant piece. We are happy to help spread awareness and engage the community as best as we can.

Please feel free to reach out to the forum moderator or helper(s) in order to do so.
