✨ Connection and exchange have always been the strength of our GATE community. Stephan Natynczuk and Josh Anderson carried the (online) roundtables for many years with great dedication. They were always open to meetings and exchanges, building bridges between participants across Europe. Over time, however, engagement decreased, and sometimes they were literally left waiting alone. Their commitment deserves deep appreciation – and it also shows how challenging it can be to sustain initiatives like this. ❤️

📲 That’s why we are now moving to a WhatsApp community, created by Jurre Descamps. You can join immediately by scanning the QR code in the photo. Within the community, there are different subgroups designed for exchange, as well as a quick and easy way to connect directly with one another.

We know it’s not always easy to add “another WhatsApp group.” But this one is truly worth it. 🌟 Beyond fostering connection and inspiration, it will also be the place where the calls for workshops for Experience Day will be shared. More information on this will follow soon!

🌍 Finally, looking ahead: as the host country, we cannot sustain connection, networking, and bridge-building in the community alone. That’s why we are looking for people who want to help carry this role forward, ensuring that even after this edition of GATE, our community remains vibrant, connected, and supported.

Do you feel called to help carry this role forward? Let us know – together we can keep our community growing and thriving. ✨
