Whats a wonderful day! Today we started the new cycle of the @globalschool.

Earlier in the morning, with @manncpt and @gexi we met at Hug Inn, then around 10h30 we headed to the welcoming session of the @globalschool.

Peter our colleague and partner briefed me on the last administrative details, as you can see my hands were full and we will have some work to do after leaving the students to make all this documentation in order.

Listening carefully to all the partners before to start our introduction session.

After the admnistrative exchanges were done, I started to introduce myself, our organization and the ecosystem in which the students will be cooperating the next weeks. Followed the group "or delegation" of supervisers and of the teachers.

To not start to overwhelm the students we decided to postpone their presentation in individual interviews, each student having to present to each of the mentor individually. However as this session will take the time it needs, I invited all the students to get to know more about blockchain and crypto currency. And we let them 30 min to prepare for their interviews. In the meantime, we get to know more about the sending organizations and their new members.

@gexi and @manncpt took each the relay to provide more information about #steem and the #steemit platform while I introduced briefly #ono.

Then I gave the first challenge to the group, each of the students had to imagine with the few information we provided a visual to explain what is #cryptocurrency while one by one, each of them was making the 3 successives interviews with our team members present today.

The task to create a visual about crypto currency was definitely a relevant idea to be able to evaluate their understanding of English, of the previous session, their interpretation and creativity on short term goals.

After the interview we made a lunch break before to review their artworks and provide them feedback.

We were all really amazed to see the amazing creatvity and skills of the group. Afterward, before to divide the group for some team building activities, we explained them about the #introduceyourself tag. Then, we divided the group in 3 working groups:

• one for the agency and the @com-lab supervised by @manncpt,
• another for @globalschool which will be supervised by @gexi and,
• the last group for @blocktv which will be managed by me.

The groups will be divided in smaller groups and with another setup in the next days each with more specific missions and channels to take over.

As soon as the groups had been formed we started to get more information and coached our team to create an #Introduceyourself post to be published tomorrow.

Around 16h30 we finished this first day together by explaining the planning of tomorrow and be sure we replied to a maximum of questions while ensuring the students to be able to contact us if they need.

What I can say from today is that I/we all were really amazed by the group of this new cycle and we can't wait to see how the groups will evolve during this week which is full of challenges and will not be rythmed as the forthcoming weeks as we have our launch event on Friday with @artcanhelp and @ionart.

Such challenge wouldn't be possible without the dedication of awesome people! Thanks for your amazing work. I am looking forward to the next days to pursue on such great achievements!

Tuesday planning

On Tuesday we will really start working. Here is the goals we would like to achieve:

In the morning:

• Finalization and reviews of the introduction posts.

Afternoon

• A first group @com-lab of 4 students composed of 2-3 traditional art enthusiasts and 1-2 media reporters will join Philipp, CEO of @ionart to cooperate on an wall painting for @artcanhelp to prepare the event of the 14th.
• The second group (@globalschool and @ccommons.art ) will work on the finalization of the presentation for the 14th.
• The third group (@blocktv) will start producing short movie and interviews for the awarness and crowdfunding campaign which will be launched around the 14th.

How to Get Involved?

If you are a steemian that supports our idea, there are many ways you could help!

• Join the com-lab to organize the next steps of the @globalschool

• Upvote, Resteem and Follow! Follow @globalschool to get up to date information about the running projects, awesome experiences reviews and sharing, as well as various contests and opportunities that we will be running in the near future.

• Delegate to us! We will be upvoting quality contribution posted on the platform to encourage indie creators and explorers to use @frameworks, @neomad and the #steem #blockchain. Delegating SP will allow us to reward developers and creatives better and attract them not only to the @globalschool but also to the STEEM ecosystem as a whole. We will only use @globalschool to upvote approved features on our platform, as well as promotional posts on @innovations, @solidarity, @workshops or @hackathons depending on the category of the topic and nothing else.

• 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. Our curation trail is set up as @globalschool on Steemauto. You can follow the trusted participatory curation trail here.
