Who can participate?

​​

• Anyone interested in IMWe!

  • Maybe you haven't been able to sign up for IMWe because of work? Now you can!

  • Maybe you have been thinking for years that you would like to participate, but didn’t quite dare to? Let this be your low threshold option to try out some IMWe from the safety of your own home!

  • Or maybe you have been to IMWe 20 years ago and would like to try it again? Welcome!

​

How do I know what is going on?​

​​

• Keep your eyes open for announcements on our facebook and instagram accounts!

• Our Discord channel is our hangout area where hopefully many of the activities can be done directly, and where you can see who else is  around.

 

Discord allows you to chat via text message or by entering one of the audio chat rooms, which you enter/switch by clicking on them. Furthermore, small video chats are possible. You can reach it via the following link: https://discord.gg/fXhnTdM For help, or if you want to start a new room, please contact Jens (jens.buss[at]vcp-gevelsberg.de)

 

• Various activities might happen all over the Internet - video conference tools, online whiteboards and notepads, instagram, facebook… the organizers of each event chooses whatever platform fits their needs best. Just remember to announce your activity on the Discord Blackboard first! 

• If you need a storage space for your activity, or want to show off your results, you can use our google drive folder. 

​

We are aware that even google storage space isn’t endless, so please consider the size of your contributions, and ask the team before uploading anything gigantic!

What can I offer?

​​

• What would YOU like to do with IMWe people online? A scout skills Interest Group? An online escape room or scavenger hunt ? Making music together? Listening to music together? Poetry slam? A brunch? A session of sewing all those scout badges onto your uniform? Playing video games together? Seeing people set up tents in their living rooms? Be creative (yet polite!) and go wild! 

• Just a brief reminder: the language of IMWe and all the activities offered is English.

​

How can I offer an activity?

​​

• You can advertise your ideas in the IMWeb facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/IMWeb/ ) or contact us to spread the word on our channels

• You can also advertise your activity on our Discord channel (the Blackboard is an excellent room for this!)

• Do you need a new room in discord for your activity? Please contact the IMWe team!

• At the end, you can share your results in our google drive folder 

​

HELP! I need help with all of this!

​​

• Don't panic! As usual, you can contact the IMWe team at info@imwe.net

• If you need help with our various online platforms, please contact our Tech-Wizards Jens (jens.buss[at]vcp.de) or Sebi (sebastian.fryburg[at]vcp.de)

• If you have questions to a specific programme point, please contact whoever offers that activity!

 

​We kindly ask you to please keep in mind that we IMWe teamers can unfortunately not be around 24/7 on our online channels. We will be reading our emails, but not every hour... please be patient! We are certain you understand that we cannot offer a full professional helpdesk or moderation service for an online IMWe around the year. Thank you for your understanding!
