#BΑΝ_me_not
“BAN_me_not” consists of a series of live streaming episodes, aiming to connect and promote innovative sociocultural activities of the Robert Bosch Foundation Alumni Network members, focusing on a variety of thematic fields.
The Bosch Alumni Network (BAN), established in 2017, brings together over 8,000 former and current fellows and staff of the Robert Bosch Foundation and its partners, supporting them as agents of change in their communities. The network contributes to an open, fair, and sustainable world by bringing together diverse perspectives, facilitating knowledge exchange, and empowering members to take collective action.
As members of BAN, we proposed a new medium to showcase the multifaceted work of our international community. Live streaming is an emerging communication tool around which new projects, strategies, and even businesses are being built. It allows people to come together as a community -with the streamer as facilitator- inspiring one another, initiating dialogue, and forming meaningful connections in a safe, pressure-free environment. Our idea was selected and supported by BAN!
Our channel, BAN_me_not, ran from October to December 2022, featuring a new live stream every week. Each episode focused on a different theme, such as crowdfunding, storytelling, inclusivity, games, and more.
Through this channel, we envision to develop an alternative medium where BAN members can showcase their work and interact with the audience, facilitating growth and exchange in the socio-cultural sector.
All discussions and topics are now available on our YouTube channel.
