GUESTS — WHEN TO INVITE THEM, HOW MANY, AND WHAT KIND

IMPACT PACK (11/18): Impact Pack session provides a context for developing audience engagement strategies that lead to meaningful social or cultural change through an interactive deck of cards. GUESTS: Up to 2 per team. TYPE OF GUESTS: Funders, potential partners, or sample participants with curiosity and passion about the media projects that will be produced.

GROUP COHESION (12/2): This session is designed for just your team participating in this Incubator to strengthen your bonds and work together. However, if there is a member of your core team who is not represented feel free to reach out to us and let us know.

COMMUNITY MODEL CANVAS (12/9): Our Community Model Canvas (CMC)—a 21st century updated business model canvas—encourages and explores both value and values creation. GUESTS: Up to 5 per team. TYPE OF GUESTS: Someone who you feel really understands your mission, and specifically how it is enacted in co-creation with your community + constituents. This can be a funder, an organizer, an artist, an engaged community member, a topic expert, a mentee, a mentor, a young person in your cohort — anyone whose voice you feel would be helpful to give feedback on your core values, core value proposition, your key activities, and business model. The only true requirement of your guest—in order for them to be successful in this session—is that they have a deep enough understanding of your mission to be able to recite their OWN interpretation of it.

PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION (1/13): We are working on the design of this session with GoFA member Tony Patrick at the moment, and will report back.

OFFICE HOURS (Month of January 2022): This tailored session can be used as a follow-up on Community Model Canvas, the Futurist Writers' Room, the Impact Pack, or as a presentation review or a coaching session with a curated GoFA member (or something else that might be useful!). GUESTS will depend on what you're hoping to do, but we're open to supporting and bringing in a few guests for each team as needed.
