Detailed Plan

.

What is the Catalyst School?

The Catalyst School is a place to enhance the impact of Catalyst as a whole by improving the contribution of all its different players and roles.

We help onboarding and help improving the skills of:

  • Proposers
  • Community Advisors
  • Veteran Community Advisors
  • General new Catalyst members

Our main proposal in Fund 5, with more details about the scope and goals of the Catalyst School, can be check here: <https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/The-Catalyst-School/367842-48088>

During Fund 6, the Catalyst School has already helped onboarding more then 200 new Catalyst members in our live sessions and platforms (Telegram, Discord, YouTube - <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIPvRvMoxhmHLUuPPcsMmmg> ).

.

How to include non-fluent/native English speakers?

Currently, the participation in Project Catalyst is somehow limited to those who can communicate in English. Those who don't speak English have their participation quite limited since almost all content, meetings and events occur in this language. Also, their participation as Proposer, Community Advisor and Veteran Community Advisor is very limited due to the language barrier.

.

Proposed solution: 1-to-1 and group support in many different languages

The team working on the Catalyst School is itself multilingual and multicultural. We've got native speakers of:

  • Spanish
  • Portuguese
  • Italian
  • Estonian
  • German
  • French
  • Polish
  • Croatian
  • Serbian
  • Bosnian

We are also partnering up with other community members to offer support in even more languages.

This current proposal aims to provide 1-to-1 support and group support for non-fluent/native English speakers who want to participate in Project Catalyst either as a Proposer, Community Advisor, Veteran Community Advisor or just as a general community member who wants to learn and support projects in many different ways.

Our goal is to provide multi-language support for the next 2 Funds (Funds 7 and 8), and a maximum of 50 supports will be provided each Fund, half an hour per support session. Interested community members should answer a form communicating their interest, and they will be allocated to the appropriate Catalyst School team member. Whenever possible, we will suggest group support instead of 1-to-1 support, so more people can be onboarded.

.

Roadmap and Milestones

  • Fund 7: 50 1-to-1 or group supports, half an hour each.
  • Fund 8: 50 1-to-1 or group supports, half an hour each.

.

Auditability

Each Fund, bi-weekly reports of all community members supported so far will be shared with the community.

If we don't reach 100 support sessions until the end of Fund 8, we will continue with the support sessions in the following Funds until we reach 100 of them.

.

The sessions aimed to provide individual support to community members. In fund9 we noticed a decrease in the number of sessions request, and low interest of community members to host sessions in different languages about Catalyst due to the recent changes in the timeline, and also not having clarity about the how the catalyst process will work from now on. Therefore, the team suggested to the community to present general aspects of each stage in the catalyst process in video format, and subtitled in the different languages. And also providing live workshop sessions, when Fund10 is confirmed.
