Info from #799 after our talk with Liam and Rufus. We want more people embracing presence and purpose within a light MVP frame , with core resident for 3 to 6 months and guest from Life itself coming around, doing events but in a light , joyful and emergent way.
This is not a curated residencies, this is a residency for people who need a spine to feel community energy but have the purpose to use this energy for their own project , having also the possibility to print their project around discussion with other creative and engaged people .
The documents attached to this proposition are in the google drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VDNFaxVaRYPuEHGHb3PlAgnORdhEy2XR?usp=share_link

• Regarding room details : here is last update ( no more saint michel rooms)https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R63h54qkcyFl4krd0mbVjSxHeGgGP2c9GKLP0e5pULg/edit?usp=sharing
• to put on residency pages with hub terms ( both are specific for this residency only)
  -No red notes I will tell them which one are taken already when I will ask them to chose .
• if you have something else than a link ( a post, a insta templates ? ) I can send to Elysabeth Emergent that would be great

Hi Valerie @Postnormalval,
If you go into the Press Pack folder which is in the Fall Winter 2023 folder - you will see different infographics and a pdf you can download and share with Elizabeth related to the intern and hub residency

[laurenwigmore]

@Postnormalval the pdfs are available in the Fall folder. Please note the T&Cs have new edits from another member that need to be reviewed by you and then the pdf redone. I haven't uploaded the pdfs to the webpage yet - do you still want these on the webpage?

[nathenf]

@laurenwigmore what is left to do on this issue?

[Postnormalval]

Dear Lauren Things are moving smoothly at the hub , but I think it is nice to share with you some changes . The hub will be supported by Alexia for this residency which will also work for general life itself comms . She will do with me the on boarding for MVP and will be there half of the time most probably also to do interviews, document the residency . So it seems that we might not take another intern but if rooms left we could propose a scholarship as you suggested for something we would like to explore more specifically. Then now for your questions : Do you mean to put the PDF of terms and conditions and rooms in the residency page ? I would say yes for the terms and conditions but not for the rooms . We could do that when all rooms will be available from January and put them without price in the general presentation of the hub . Hope it is clear , Looking forward to coordinate well together :) Valerie PS please decide to close the issue , I don’t think anything else

thanks @Postnormalval ,
I will leave @alexianetcu the task to add the pdf to the webpage (good practice for you Alexia and also not urgent so you can do when you feel more confident using obsidian/we can have a quick chat in a stand up if needed this week).
Also when you know about January you can arrange the room pdf with Alexia also.
There is an intern application and email that will need replying to (praxis was cc'd in) -perhaps you could do that today to update them accordingly.
I will now close the issue.
