Networking Events LatAm EXT

Students in LATAM who are already being educated on cryptocurrency and blockchain tech should be introduced to this community and guided.

[IMPACT]

Our current objective is to bring networking events and educational content to students in Ecuador and Paraguay. We would like to take things a step further and connect students displaying interest in Cardano with this community, and guiding them thereafter on establishing better connections with members of the community and ultimately submitting their own proposals. We would also like to extend these networking events and outreach to Medellin, Colombia as well as Buenos Aires, Argentina

The people that understand the economic and cultural infrastructure of Latam the best are Latin Americans themselves. These people have unique insight when it comes to determining how best to bring Cardano to their communities. Educating them on the tech, connecting them with fellow crypto enthusiasts, and thereafter bringing them into the fold of project catalyst allows us access to this valuable insight.

The success of this project would be partially contingent on the success of our F7 project "Networking/Education LATAM". This is primarily because the degree to which these new onboarded members of the catalyst community are actually engaged with the community is dependent on their knowledge of Cardano and their engagement with our networking and educational programs. In the areas we already plan to implement education (Ecuador/Paraguay), ensuring long term engagement will be easier.

[FEASIBILITY]

The timeline for this project would be in tandem with "Networking/Education LATAM"'s timeline. As we get more students connected to the crypto world (via networking events/education) we will be able to further support them with getting integrated on this platform. We expect this project to take about one year.

[AUDITABILITY]

The number of people that end up

1. having an account

1. commenting on proposals/communicating with community members online

1. submitting proposals

1. getting their proposals funded

Having a substantial number of new community members on boarded. Most significantly, having brought on community members from Latin America that end up leading their own funded projects would be the gold standard measure of success.

These past proposal was funded and has a lot of synergy with the goals of this new proposal.
