A lot of you will know that we were due a Group Chat break in April. More info on those below:
What is a 'group chat break'?
Roughly
three times a year, we have a week (or two) where we take a break from
running group chat sessions.
We use these
periods as a chance to gather
up the feedback we've received from you all, reflect on how things are
going on the community, and look at anything we might want to work on.
Sometimes that happens behind the scenes, and sometimes we post
discussions or run projects on the discussion boards for you to get
involved in during that week.
It's also a good chance for our volunteers and staff to take a breather.
How often do we have them?Typically, these happen once in January, April, and August.
The April break has been cancelled so we can keep our services open during COVID. When the dust settles and we're out the other side of it all, we will schedule in a break (likely two weeks rather than one). For now though, Group Chat will be open as usual for the forseeable future.
Any break activities like quizzes or projects may still go ahead, but it depends what we're able to manage and what our priorities end up being. If we do run any of that stuff, we'll keep you updated.
