"Inspirational English" Issue 31 | Page 9

On your website you have a special page dedicated to Positive Activities. How do you come up with these inspiring ideas? Anyone from our community is welcome to suggest a new idea. Our most recent one was an applause flash-mob suggested by Adam, where we set up scenarios where people unexpectedly have the opportunity to do something kind ..then we surprise them with applause for their kind action. Like picking up and returning a dropped wallet. About 85% of the idea come from me, although I hope that will change very soon :0) A few others have been adopted, like Free Hugs, and The Liberators Eye Contact Experiment. I get more bad ideas than good ones, I suggest heaps of them, and others in the community help me shape them ..or tell me (kindly and constructively) that they are rubbish! How can people join the FocalLOcal Community? By subscribing to the events in our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Focallocal/events/ and to post in our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/focallocal/ and ask what’s going on near you, or suggest an action you'd like to try there (you'll need to click notifications and select all, otherwise after a week or so you won’t receive any notifications at all ..Facebook isn’t a good base for us. Or by finding a project you like in our Action Centre, clicking on 'Chat' and saying hello to the people already there: http://action.focallocal.org/ You can also follow all the videos our amazing volunteer produce in our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Focallocal We hope to move everything across to our website once a few more web developers, UX/UI and graphic designers, join in the build.
