CatalystSchool - Eastern Hemisphere

A partnership between the Catalyst School and Eastern Town Hall (ETH): provide Catalyst School sessions during ETH, in Eastern languages.

Veteran advisors and proposal mentors, education professionals, very active Catalyst community members since early Funds and more.

The Catalyst School is a place to enhance the impact of Catalyst as a whole by improving the contribution of all its different players and roles.

We help onboarding and help improving the skills of:

• Proposers
• Community Advisors
• Veteran Community Advisors
• General new Catalyst members

Our main proposal in Fund 5, with more details about the scope and goals of the Catalyst School, can be found here: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/The-Catalyst-School/367842-48088

Current Problems and Limitations

Working closely with the Eastern TownHall, the Catalyst-school realized the high potential of the eastern community. This allows us to educate english speaking attendees while also identifying local bilingual teachers wanting to work together with the Catalyst-School and training them so they can give classes to their peers in their communities.

Proposed Solution: hold classes in the Eastern Hemisphere TownHall

With 7 natively spoken languages the Catalyst-School decided to help educate non english speakers in [1on1 sessions](https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/The-Catalyst-School-Multilanguage/368887-48088) but we don't want to stop there. Working closely with the Eastern TownHall, the Catalyst-school realized the high potential of the eastern community. This allows us to educate english speaking attendees while also identifying local bilingual teachers wanting to work together with the Catalyst-School and training them so they can educate and eventually give classes to their peers in their languages with their cultural needs in mind.

What we have done already

We held 2 introductory classes in the ETH already, introducing attendees to proposing in Catalyst as well as Community Advising.

What we are going to do

We are going to help the Eastern Town Hall set up their own School with the actions as follows:

• holding further english sessions for bilingual Eastern community members
• Identifying future teachers and training them in 1on1 and group-sessions
• help them write a joined Fund 7 proposal for teaching in their language to their community
