Please describe your proposed solution.
Blockchain is the future and will be fully implemented in our society in a few years, the main actors of Blockchain will then be the nowadays students.
The project here is to unite students from different Blockchains to discuss about the different projects and to learn from other Blockchains. We aim to create a students Blockchain community and promote blockchain to more students and to the universities' teachers.
As being part of a leading international French business school, I am aware of the potential that business schools have in terms of potential blockchain participants and possible newcomers in the system.
This proposal would be the perfect opportunity to teach the students that are interested in Blockchain but do not understand it really well.
About my school:
Grenoble Ecole de Management is one of the most influential business schools in France, it has a lot of International business students that can easily find an opportunity into blockchain technology. The students also have a lot of relations in the other French Business schools which can get the advertising in the universities easier.
Our plan:
First we are going to reach out to students from different Blockchains’ Telegram/Discord groups by sending a message to promote our project in the group (with a link). This message will include the link for our Discord and Telegram groups where the students can ask questions and discuss about Blockchain. Some research has already been done and there are a lot of different Telegram groups that are easily accessible.
Here are few examples:
<https://web.telegram.org/z/#-1321374280> - Cardano official Telegram (40000 members)
<https://web.telegram.org/z/#-1169362959> - Chiliz (23300 members)
The discord group will have all the important information, content, links that the project needs to be done.
After that, we are going to start having monthly meetings where one of the participants is going to make a presentation concerning the Blockchain they are representing. On the first call, our team, as representative of the Cardano community will present the Catalyst project. Then, we will try to find some volunteers to present their Blockchain’s project. On the first 3 months there will be only 1 presentation per month, and afterwards we will do two per month.
A breakout rooms will be available after each meeting for example for blockchain representative. In addition, after each meeting, a survey will be given on the group in order for us to know what there is to improve or change.
We will promote our project in Universities with the help of each student on the group. Our team will create a post that can be shared into the Universities websites / Groups where all the students can have access to the information.
The monthly meetings will be open for everyone, but will focus on bringing mainly students, moreover, the calls will be recorded and will be posted on a YouTube channel created for the challenge.
Why am I interested in Cardano ?
I know Cardano for about a year now, but I have really been active for fund 9 and I am now starting to understand the opportunity that Cardano can give to change the world, my goal is now to educate students, since I am a student myself, and in my opinion blockchain will be fully implemented in our society, I am concerned about the lack of knowledge that students have in this area.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
This project addresses the challenge by enabling a lot of collaboration between different blockchain communities.
Through this process we will also promote Catalyst and support some proposers from different blockchains doing proposals for the Catalyst project
Moreover, some ideas from the other Blockchain projects can be implemented in Cardano if relevant. We will connect such projects to relevant resources in Catalyst and Cardano.
It addresses the challenge by permitting to learn and teach other people about different blockchain technologies and through that create cross chain collaboration and promote blockchain and Cardano to many students
How does the proposal fit the challenge needs ?
- increase communication, coordination and collaboration between chains
- Possibility to solve challenges collectively
- Make contributions to the ecosystem
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
Not enough people join the community - We will try to do the best marketing and advertising possible, with really professional posts in the different blockchains’ Telegram groups. We will also work on great content for the meetings so people will come back.
Lack of professionalism - In order to choose good presentations and to try to have interesting projects presented, our team will analyze each of the people's project to see if they are interesting + we will have the students that are supposed to present their project to tell us how it is going
Too many participants - We will do a survey so the people can choose the presentations they want to see
