How to reach the community & promote events
Communication steps anyone can take self-organized
Write a compelling invitation text where you answer the following questions
What is the event?
When is the event taking place?
Where is the event taking place?
What is purpose of the event?
What can participants expect as key takeaways/learnings? What's their benefit to join?
What do they have to prepare (if applicable)?
For online events:
Create a Zoom event link via the Community Zoom account (password for the Community Zoom can be found in our password manager Bitwarden)
It will automatically create a calendar event in the community calendar with the respective Zoom link
Adapt this calendar invitation and add your invitation message to it. Add the chapter email addresses to it and invite for the event.

Communication channels for promotion that you can use:
Discord Community Server/"oiKosmos":
Create an event at the top left (if you are unable to do so, send an IT request in order to be assigned the correct role)
Use the announcement channel called "events-and-opportunities" to send a message about your event. If you tag @everyone, all members of the server will receive a notification (if you are unable to send a message in this channel, send an IT request in order to be assigned the correct role)
WhatsApp
You can send a message in the "oikos community" group. Join it here
Alumni Group (if applicable): If you want to reach the oikos alumni in particular you can use the Facebook and LinkedIn alumni groups
