These are my goals for today lessons:
- I feel like some of my The Horse posts are a bit disorganized. I would like to change that today and bring some structure in. Some articles are still [in progress] wheter they are already finished or reverse. ✔️
- Gather information for the final product. Study the framework conditions. Try to achieve them. ✔️
- In the afternoon I try (once again) to reach Ms Kappeler. —> Unfortunately, (once again) I did not reach her. ❌
What my job is:
The goal of the IDAF is to publish at least one short article/information about your project on an official channel. It is up to you on which channel (radio, television, newspaper, etc.) and in what form (article in a newspaper/magazine, TV report on Schweiz Aktuell, Watson, podcast, etc.) this happens.
How I want to achieve it:
I want o publish my article in a newspaper or a blog. In particular, I would like to do without a large publisher like Blick, the NZZ or SRF. I see greater chances of success with a small, regional newspaper or blog. I reach the various media houses by email and see where I get an answer and where I don't. But first I only write a request as to whether my own articles are desired at all and only in a second step do I effectively send in my own article. In order to ensure correct German, I send the text to my German teacher for correction in advance. More...
here are the tasks I will do in today's lessons:
1. finish the IDAF Dossier [done]
2. Contact Newspaper [done]
3. Write my intro to our project [in progress]
These are my goals for today:
- Fill out the forms ✔️
- Prepare E-Mails and write to newspaper (NaG, Watson …)✔️
- Clean up my account on the horse✔️
1. Peer feedback
—> Write a feedback to the „Impact trough conflict“ team
—> This feedback is related to task 23
2. Clean up
—> I have the feeling that my posts on the Horse are a bit unstructured. I would like to change that today and tidy things up a bit.
3. Prepare for Interview with waste water team
—> This afternoon I want to call the waste water team to fix a date for the interview. Possible time slots would be on tuesday morning or friday afternoon.
1. Complete the interview questions
—> Why do I want these questions? (✔️)
—> Are there more questions I want to ask? (✔️)
2. Collaboration team
—> Think about someone I could ask for a collaboration (✔️)
Before the sports vacations, a short presentation about the projects of us students took place during a Zoom session. Unfortunately, I had decided on a new project shortly before and there was not much to show. I also think that's the reason why I couldn't find any collaboration partners (yet).
I will add a more detailed description in "Mural" in the near future, so that other people can imagine my project better and might want to collaborate with me.
Another option for collaboration may be offered to me by my employer. During the vacations, I was already able to send an email to the wastewater treatment team and expect a response soon. An "extended interview" is still planned. That is, I will not only ask questions but have everything explained to me on a grand scale.
A week later I received an answer. For Andreas Friess, the head of the sewage treatment plant, it's no problem and I should just get in touch. -> But here I first have to consult with Ms Sutter again.
Update 17.03.2023: Today I went to a possible collaboration partner. My primary school teacher lived in Thailand for a few years. Already there, the world of wastewater should look very different. For me it is an optimal solution. I have arranged with him on March 31, so that he can tell me about it. --> Unfortunately he cancelled the appointment
Update 16.04.2023: It was possible for me to win Alexandra Kappeler as a partner. (See also:the-horse.education/post/status-of-team-composition)
