WICCA: Looking back and gazing ahead 👀
Hi wonderful person,
The Holiday season has begun, it's almost the end of the year! Yesterday we did our "WICCA Looking Back" event and we wanted to share with you what we talked about.
But first some important business! We would like to know what you think about WICCA and our events. Please fill in our survey so we can learn from that!
We also added a CFP form on our website to make it easier to let us know that you want to present something for us. We would love to see you present your research, lessons learned, do a workshop with us, teach us something, so if you have any ideas let us know here. And if you need help also let us know!
Looking back
Somewhere this year we thought we were able to do in-person meetups again. We were able to do two, but unfortunately we have to go back to online again. And as it looks right now the first couple of months of next year we will do the meetups online.
We were in the process of organising a couple of in-person meetups, those are postponed until further notice.
2022 plans
Below a list of our plans and goals for next year.
We want to at least cover our WICCA costs every year, and we would love it if companies donate to us (let us know if you can hook us up!)
The money we have left from donations will go to WICCON, t-shirts, coins, badges, drinks and food, or any other fun ideas!
We want to offer some free stuff to our members (think about vouchers for learning platforms, free licenses, free courses, etc.)
We want to start a crowdsourced blog and we need your help! Creative writing, technical writing, normal writing, any idea is welcome. Check out what we already have here.
We also discussed some topics for new meetups, we have made a list with 25 ideas for meetup topics and/or companies and/or conferences to visit (in-person or online). Thank you very much to everyone that contributed to that and if you have any additional ideas, let us know in the survey!
Up Next
We do not have a meetup planned for January yet, but it is going to be an online one. So stay tuned!
WICCA Summer School
Is something we did in past year and hope to do again next year! If you weren't there but are curious you can see all the sessions here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHn3kQt1fbdfuxuEuMvjygJVIN8pzvsYE
WICCA Discord
Is also something we started in the past year! If you want to chat with each other or learn from each other we can do so in our very own discord! The Discord is intentionally kept small and for regular meetup visitors.

WICCA Twitter list
I can't really remember when we started this but we wanted to display all of our awesome WICCA members on twitter and make sure that everyone can follow you. So we created a twitter list: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1282660141503053825
Go follow the list and reply to this email or send us a DM to get on the list! Because you all deserve to be on there!
Happy holidays & happy new year!
Kind regards / Met vriendelijke groet,
Chantal + Valentine + Faith
The WICCA Team
