Welcome to the FIRST MONDAY of 2019! We had so many wonderful Mondays last years and we will work on creating amazing ones in this year too. For our first one in this year, we will present you a lovely project by @globalschool called "Support steem blockchain awareness and education". This project is about blockchain education and is doing wonders for spreading knowledge about our beloved platform. We are sure you are going to love it!

Global School was founded as Open School in 2015 in Vienna, Austria and has ever since then been actively providing network learning, crypto education, multicultural heritage, crowd intelligence & new media literacy via online and offline platforms. They have both students and mentors from all around the world. The project itself offers blockchain & crypto awareness and education through tailored training programs in New Media & Social Innovation for youth, citizens, organizations, SMEs, administrations, policymakers, financiers, creatives and entrepreneurs. They do this by delivering a set of tools, platforms, influence content such as @dtube videos through @steemonboarding and competences to trainees. This enables people to design and implement social innovation and document their experience on the #steem #blockchain.

This is one of those huge and unbelievable projects that deserves all your love and attention. Their students learn about crypto-currencies and the #blockchain #technology, report the co-learning activities using new media tools and collaborate with local and remote mentors. Artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs receive a lovely amount of support and their co-creation is wonderfully empowered through crypto-education. They create an account on the very first day, write an introduction post and afterward produce quality content related to their passions and interests. They also engage with supportive communities such as #steemit-austria, @austroboost, @steem-munich, @fundition, @tasteem, @artisteem, @travelfeed, @cleanplanet, @steemitworldmap, #openmic, @limesoda, @com-lab, @steemworldtrash, @steembay, @ccommons.art and many more.

Here are some of the things that students do when they start:

- Install all the communication tools such as iAme, Discord and Telegram - Research about steem & dapp such as @busy.org, @tasteem, @appics, @steemit or @fundition - Explore collectives such as @creative-commons @ccommons.art or @slothicorn - Discover the various contests and other opportunities on the steem blockchain - Check the #introduceyourself tag and write their own introduction - get an introduction to: AI/Bot development, 3D modelization, ERP usages, Dapp coding, or developing their own project

One of the great ways for students to practice and improve their English skills is publishing their daily report with all the activities they have done so far.

When students leave the program, they are encouraged to continue sharing their work and motivated to show their achievements to their school, teachers and friends just as they are to invite their contacts and friends to steem blockchain. Some of them even decided to become remote mentors and support the newcomers via the @ccommons.art server on discord and on telegram.
