Proposals

📢FORRO BLOG hosting contributions from all the community

1) 🤌SUMMARY: *A Forró Blog where contributors from all around the community & countries publish their knowledge, thoughts and ideas about Forró-related topics.* 2) 🗯️DETAILED IDEA: *WHAT is the objective?* Create a central place to stay updated, inform and exchange developments in the Forró world. *HOW would it look like?* Forró Federation would host on its page & promote through its channels a Forró Blog, where writers publish content under their names. In the beginning, we would approach people that we know of to have interesting sharings, and hope to soon get a steady flow of new content for the audience to read and exchange. *TOPICS already in mind:* - Advice on how you can grow your community - Interviews with central figures from the Forró scene - Cultural knowledge (music, artists, history) - Presenting projects in the Forró World to make them more known (e.g. projects like "Zabumba Without Borders", academic research projects, etc.) - Features about the newest developments in the scene (e.g. safer space movement) - Feature about professional content (e.g. train the trainer program) - Columns with personal opinions from contributors to inspire exchange and progress - Content that so far only existed in Portuguese (e.g. text about forró&homophobia) - Curating lists of artists/teachers/bands or other service providers in Forró - ... and whatever else interesting topic is out there to share with a wider audience 3) ℹ️*NOTES / WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS IDEA GETS UPVOTED* We from the FoFed board would like to start this central Forró Blog anyway and have already started the first basic setup of a blog on the FoFed website. We are putting this idea to this public voting board to get feedback and ideas from you on how to make it most valuable to a wide audience 💭 Also if you are up for volunteering (a blog is a lot of administrative work too), reach out to us! :)

    @Leonie Schmidtmer  Hi Leonie, The newsletter is planned to stay (we have currently found one person who agreed to volunteer / taking ownership for it to continue regularly) and if we do this proposed Forró Blog as bigger project, we would include content from the blog into the newsletter.

    Perhaps one topic that the Blog could contain is the discussion or joint construction of a common European Safe Space with general guidelines and action plans for all events in Europe.
