As we continue to make strides in our mission to empower adults with Down syndrome through electronics education, these regular check-ins are crucial for maintaining momentum and alignment across our international partnership.
Key Discussions and Decisions from monthly meeting:
1. Dissemination Strategy:
Our partners at NEST Berlin presented comprehensive dissemination documents, including social media plans and schedules. We’re excited about the potential reach of our hashtags and are working on finalizing our project logo to kickstart our online promotion efforts.
2. Strengthening Stakeholder Involvement:
To reinforce our commitment to real-world impact, each partner will secure a memorandum of understanding from a local Down syndrome organization. This step will not only enrich our project with valuable experience and advice but also demonstrate the depth of our partnerships to potential evaluators.
3. Website Development:
Efektas has taken the lead on creating our project website. We’re aiming to develop this crucial platform alongside our project activities, ensuring we can effectively showcase our progress and outcomes. The team is eagerly awaiting the finalization of our logo to begin this process.
4. Social Media Strategy:
We had a fruitful discussion about our approach to social media content. The team is considering a mix of coordinated central project posts and partner-specific shares. A deadline-based content calendar is in the works to ensure our messaging is timely and impactful across all channels.
5. Progress and Next Steps:
We’re pleased to report that missing partner details are being submitted, bringing us closer to full operational capacity. Our immediate focus is on finalizing the dissemination strategy and research templates, setting the stage for the commencement of our core work packages.
This meeting was a testament to the dedication and collaborative spirit of our FEAT-DS team. Despite a few technical hiccups (which we swiftly resolved), we made significant progress in planning our outreach and stakeholder engagement strategies.
For our adult educator community, these developments mean that you’ll soon have access to a wealth of resources and insights through our upcoming website and social media channels. We’re committed to keeping you informed and involved every step of the way as we work towards revolutionizing electronics education for adults with Down syndrome.
Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward with our project implementation. Your support and engagement are crucial to the success of FEAT-DS, and we’re excited to have you on this journey with us.
