Upcoming Special Events!
Here is a list of events based on observances that we will be planning throughout the months.
This means that we are looking at or already working on ways to acknowledge or celebrate the following:
March
Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month | Organiser: @QuickJazz
13th - Special Events Anniversary | Organiser: @QuickJazz
15th - True Confessions Day | Organiser: @QuickJazz
Have any ideas for how to celebrate these? Or want to see another observance acknowledged within these months? Let us know here!
@poeticguy anushka1 maybe we can run an art competition for Art week in January?
@Laura I'd been looking at the description of the special event itself, and I believe that art refers to all art forms, which is super cool! There could be a competition to write the best song about 7 cups, more poetry contests (as I know you've done them in the past) and other things to showcase different art forms, alongside a visual art competition.
Sorry haha, just super excited about this idea! And also, putting my thoughts down now while I've got them, in case I get to work on it
@RebeccaEmily Love it!
@Laura @PoeticGuy @anushka1 @wonderfulPumpkin71
I'd be happy to help with some kind of literature-related event.
In general, I'm not a huge fan of competitions, because it forces us to rank artistic creations, which is really difficult and can perhaps be somewhat counter-productive at times. (In terms of promoting self-esteem and encouraging people to take a risk in putting yourself out there, it seems that a contest rewards only a very few).
However, I'm happy to work on any project, whatever you all want.
