[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

French students can have a hard time understanding what project Catalyst is and how it works, which is a problem since in my opinion, everyone should be able to write proposals on the Catalyst platform and to understand the different aspects of it.

To solve this issue, I want to create some content on YouTube about project Catalyst and its different aspects. The content I am planning to do is : 

• Summaries of the Town halls, which will explain the different news of project Catalyst
• Some examples of finished projects
• YouTube shorts about different aspects of Catalyst

The YouTube channel that will be used is a channel already created with 7 informative videos on how to make proposals on Catalyst as well as other aspects of it (how to be a reviewer, how to stake your ADA). 

This channel already has 19 subscribers and the best videos has 45 views and I am planning to have more thanks to this project.

I do not necessarily have any experience in editing but thanks to the videos I already uploaded, I was able to learn how to edit well and I am still learning day after day.

To promote this channel, I am going to share it on a crypto project channel called GG crypto where there are around 600 members as well Bitget French-speaking community with over 5000 members. I am also in contact with WADA and see how I can support the French-speaking people from Africa. I am also looking for other French groups of students interested in Blockchain, but they are pretty rare from what I can find so far. This could be a big opportunity for Cardano to be one of the first.

Moreover, I am also counting on the Catalyst community to share the channel if they know any French person or community that could be interested in the Catalyst project. 

The YouTube channel is not only for students, obviously anyone can come and watch, but for this project, I will mostly do marketing with students that have an initial interest in Blockchain.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

The proposals on this challenge need to be made by students and/or for the students.

I am a 19 international student in a Business school in France and I already have some experience with catalyst as a CA and funded proposer from Fund 9. 

Moreover, for this project I am aiming to help onboarding students in the Catalyst project since I believe that students are a really important aspect of the ecosystem and educating them is a great way to ensure a good future.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

My project will be successful if these objectives are achieved : 

• Between 200 and 300 views to each one of my videos.
• Around 100 subscribers to my channel
• Being contacted by the viewers and answer the questions they have
• Help to onboard some students in the catalyst project and in the community

These are only a start, if the videos work well and people like them, I will continue doing some advertising and try to reach more people.

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

The videos for the project will be in a public YouTube channel, so everyone will be able to access it. 

Concerning the different data I get from the videos (Likes, shares, comments…), I will share them on the monthly report and I will gather all the information in an Excel file for the closing report.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

As a young student, and an educational proposer from fund 9, I understand well what is needed for the people to understand what you are teaching them.

Moreover, I have already done a few videos on the YouTube channel which gave me some experience for the video editing.

I am in the Catalyst community since 2021 and I am still learning from it, but I believe that teaching people what I already know would be a really great initiative.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The main goal of this project is to ensure that students are more aware of the possibilities that they have with the Catalyst project and show them that if they have innovative and impactful ideas, they are able to realize them.

Thanks to my videos, the viewers will have the necessary content to do so, and I will also be open for question by sharing my personal email. In these videos, I will share some content about Catalyst as well as new that we got from the Town Hall, which is in my opinion a great way to incentivize the students.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

This project will last around 10 months.

The project will start from the moment we get the voting results to 10 months after that. 

I am planning to do a monthly video about the different news that we got from the Town Halls

I will also add some videos explaining different projects that were exposed in these Town Halls

I will do some quick YouTube shorts, at least 1 every 2 weeks in order to give some quick and easily accessible information about what is going on with Catalyst (about when will the fund 11 start for example).

During this whole time, I will do some marketing and advertising through different WhatsApp groups or even or Telegram or LinkedIn by posting regularly some news about the channel.

If the objectives are not met after the ten months, I will continue posting and making some advertising until we get to our objective.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

Each video that I make will be publicly visible on my YouTube account : https://www.youtube.com/@CardanoFRforstudents

And I will also share them on the monthly reports of the project. 

Concerning the data that I get from the videos, which implies : 

• Likes
• Comments
• Subscribers
• Viewers

I will also share them on the monthly report and I will study the progress through time in order to understand better how the algorithm works and how to improve my marketing and advertising.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

This project is not very costly since I will not be using any external tool, it is just for the time dedicated for it.

• Time dedicated per video : 4 hours x 150ADA x 10 videos (every month) = 6000 ADA
• Time dedicated for YouTube shorts : 2h x 150ADA x 20 videos (1 every 2 weeks) = 6000 ADA
• Time dedicated per project example video : 4h x 150ADA x 5 videos

 = 3000 ADA

• Marketing and advertising = 150ADA x 2h x 10 month = 3000ADA
• Admin & reporting 2000 ADA

Total = 20000 ADA

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

This project will be beneficial for the community since it will incentivize French-speaking people to join Catalyst and will feel represented.

I will also be open to help to get the people onboarded, which will be beneficial for the ecosystem since it will bring more people to the Catalyst community.

Moreover, if someone knows someone that speaks French and that would like to be onboarded on Catalyst, this channel can be shared and will give all the information needed as well as the news.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agreed to Fund10 rules and also that data in the Submission Form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
