[didi] The D.I.D.I. Launch Party
Last night marked the exciting beginning of the D.I.D.I. Initiative on the Teen Grid of Second Life.
After a brief presentation detailing the Dream it. Do it. Initiative and the staff that will be involved, youth and staff broke in the new DIDI Clubhouse with some dancing and afterwards headed over to the lake for some after party fun in the water! Throughout the party, teens started to sign up for the D.I.D.I. Workshops which will be taking place throughout the week of Oct. 22.
For any teens unable to make the party, there is still plenty of time to get involved!
We are going to begin workshops next Monday & workshop sign ups will be taking place all week in the South East corner of DIDI Island. Just click on the workshop stone that best fits your schedule. If you click the wrong one, just click on it a second time to remove your name from the list.
At the workshops, teens can find out how the D.I.D.I. Initiative can support teens to start their own ventures. A "venture" can be a club, organization, business, or program that is ongoing (i.e. not a one-time event) and benefits one's community in some way.
The workshops will be a chance to begin brainstorming about issues you care about and how you can create change around those issues. You'll also learn about some of the many amazing ventures led teams of youth around the world.
Thanks to everyone for making last night's launch such a wonderful event.
We are very excited to bring DIDI to TSL and its great to have you all here for the beginning!
