HOW ELABORATE IS THE PROGRAM?
Starting in October 2023, 8 mornings (approx. 4 hours) will take place as group sessions over the course of half a year.
In addition, participants will receive two hours of individual coaching. This adds up to approximately 6 hours/month.
In addition to these appointments, you will need to schedule enough time to write at least two posts each week during the program. Depending on your prior knowledge and channel, this may take different amounts of time. Over time, this will become easier and take less time. You'll also interact with your followers, answering questions, liking comments, commenting on others' posts, etc.
We will also invite you to exciting events of the Berlin science community and would be happy if you can participate in at least three events. And of course you should be present at the award ceremony!
As you can see, setting up your social media channel professionally is not an easy task. But it can change your life forever :-) And it is a lot of fun!
