Monthly Rhythm

Each month (except for May) will follow the following same pattern:

Week 1 - join the online group video call (90min), introducing the focus topic for the month and outlining the grant proposal task for the month.

Week 2 - as a team, work independently on the grant proposal section in focus for the month.

Week 3 - as a team, review your peer team's grant proposal and provide feedback.

Week 4 - as a team, review the comments received from your assigned peer team and revise your proposal based on these. Watch a short summary video provided by the facilitation team, reviewing some of the key aspects of this month’s topic.
