their programs in high school and have worked for them in country as well as as a training director for them uh this previous year before joining mural so i have i'm invested in both parties today um but i my travel suggestion was palmares costa rica which was actually where i worked for amigos the previous summer and it's just an amazing location where it's a little bit more inland but also easy access to the beautiful coastline of costa rica but then you're also still in the jungle environment and there's amazing communities there and food and people so i'd suggest traveling there nice thank you i'm adding some pictures as well to try and make bring some visuals to our maps all right uh emily welcome and tell us where should we travel what would you recommend yeah hi everybody so excited to be here uh my name is emily uh i'm a program manager at amigos um and although we don't have programs in chile or argentina right now where i would recommend uh traveling is doris albania national park in chilean patagonia so way down in the south um had an opportunity to do some fun backpacking down there whoa which is it's beautiful as you can see from this picture that's insane gorgeous and you also recommended alicante spain which is a beautiful place too alicante also a beautiful space right a place right on the right on the mediterranean um in in southern spain and i also put new zealand on here i haven't been to new zealand but personally that's next on my personal travel list is um is going to to both islands and going up and down yes my dream is to do a day when i ski and go to the beach in the same weekend nice awesome all right thank you michael i'm not getting too into this i'm trying to add pictures already no good i love it so hey everyone um it's great to be here i'm also part of the amigos team um currently based out of madison wisconsin i saw some people in the chat say they're from stevens point um so that's exciting i think that force travel locations i have two places that i'd recommend um one i put up here is medellin colombia my mom is from there grew up going to colombia um i think it's a beautiful country that unfortunately gets a bad rap from our past but has had an incredible um you know just innovative last few years so definitely recommend that if you like art food and cities and then a second location i put was um tuliar or ranafana madagascar was able to live there for two years in my past and just a magical place that people don't ever really get to lots of nature lemurs and a lot of unique malagasy culture lovely yeah medellin is one of my favorite places in the world truly amazing beautiful vibrant place and beautiful vibrant people so it's awesome all right logan where would you go in the world i recommend i would recommend well first of all hi everyone i'm logan uh tuning in from berkeley california in the san francisco bay area and my first recommendation is pretty close to home in depth valley california um california has just a wild terrain and especially if anyone out there is a star wars fan a lot of the star wars movies were filmed in death valley you can actually take a tour um of various points of like star wars being filmed in the valley but it's just a beautiful vast desert that's pretty accessible yeah i was there a couple i was there last weekend actually it's pretty it was insane yeah it was insane uh it was hot it was really freaking hot but it was really oh yeah that's it's breathtaking and then i've had the opportunity and i've been fortunate enough to visit asuncion the capital of uruguay um and just fell in love with the city it's it's great beautiful thank you guys hey that's i'll also find a picture of montevideo i always confuse those two for some reason montevideo i also recommend going to student capital of paraguay all right thank you guys for sharing and everyone in the chat for sure sharing their travel destinations as well we have a global community and now we have a global travel map to go to so i'm going to thank you guys for the introductions i'm going to invite you guys i realize that people probably don't know too much about amigos so i want to make sure they get a good overview of what your programs are and what the mission is that the organization so um let's go over here logan tell us a little about amigos uh maybe i'll give us a few minutes to share what does amigos do and what are some of the programs you guys offer yeah well first of all um amigos has been serving youth in getting them um outside of their comfort zone zones and learning since 1965 and with the mission of basically a world where all people are lifelong leaders sharing responsibility for this global community that we all live in and our mission is to inspire leaders through authentic service and immersion experiences and we do those by creating programs for youth in different countries recently as you can imagine the industry of international travel has drastically changed and us along with many other organizations and other people in the world we pivoted and so we can still live out our vision still accomplish our mission and now is through virtual programs we recently ran a virtual program in the summer and are gearing up to leave one in the fall um and amigos has different flavors of programs if you will um to serve you know different youth from different places there is there is the youth ambassadors program um michael cook represents um youth ambassadors program with us here today um emmy manages our summer program which is usually what people hear of typically um and there's also a gap program that we're currently running virtually with tufts university and so just yeah lots of flavors um all doing the same thing just in different ways in order to cater to you know the needs of different people and i don't know emmy if you have emmy or michael if you have anything else to add that i might have missed yeah i'll just jump in here and say that so we're a registered 501c3 um so we're a non-profit organization um and our programs are primarily for youth ages 13 to 22 so all the way from middle school programming up until gap years most of our programs are what we can think of as open enrollment so anybody can sign up with the exception of our wonderful youth ambassadors program which is a federally funded program so we get funding for the from the state department to run those programs on behalf of the bureau of education and cultural affairs so right now in the times of kovid we are focused on diversifying our program slate so not just offering opportunities for folks to travel away from their home community but also what does engagement in within your own home community look like because we really believe that creating the next generation of leaders in our youth um is more important than ever right now yeah that's amazing michael anything to add to that i realize you have a sickle into the program and i think logan and emmy um shared a lot of good information awesome and i definitely agree this is sounds like an amazing program and an important one to think about solving especially since people are probably used to and would enjoy going to these locations that you recommended but needing to think about making it a virtual experience so i want to shift over a little bit to focus on our challenge that we want to solve today in mural and in the audience i want to invite you guys to a few of you into our session as panelists to act as consultants for the amigos team with this context and if you're interested in being a consultant in today's session just type cecilia is already typing in and you guys know the drill and all caps yes and um what we'll do is invite you as panelists into the session on audio on video to work with our team so here's our challenge as i mentioned the team is now completely virtual and i think that they've been doing an epic job being very flexible given the situation and now they want to be able to share the impact of their their programs based on feedback from the participants and the staff and then with other people who might be interested in volunteering so success means being able to create kind of a template in a way that the team can use to share stories and impact based on this ongoing feedback anything to add to that team i would just add that this storytelling is really important because amigos is really great at pivoting and collecting that feedback and in these moments where it's really challenging and everyone's like oh gosh what should we do like these programs have been so strong in the past with in-person connection it's like and amigos is great in shifting immediately virtually and so in that these are new programs that are being created um and the whole process is very iterative and so um in that phase of changing and this new um the new changes that are made to these programs it's really great to not only share the like beginning and the end product that um now is there but sharing that journey of change and so i think that's kind of what our challenge is today of trying to figure out how can we best storytell the um the process of kind of designing these programs and iterating um throughout that process thank you for adding that emma and i i would just like to add and i don't know if we if we mention this but emma's um insights come from her her long history with amigos she's been with us in a lot of many different capacities and was also a staff member actually on the past virtual summer program that we did um so amy definitely has really or emma definitely has really good insights um and that's what she's talking about nice and even emma and emily today so i had to make things complicated all right so i just promoted a pump a couple of people up to panelists i'm going to keep it to jonathan lee we have cecilia and ross so welcome to our panelists we're so happy to have you and i'll make sure that you guys have the link to join you'll have to sign in to participate but it'll be really beneficial to have you do that so i'm going to send it to all our panelists right now and while they're joining and this is a good facilitator practice i should definitely lock this down that's my bed i'm gonna ask the amigos team so emma emily michael and logan to tell us a little bit about this data and storytelling component so the things that the information you're collecting from participants and staff throughout and at the end of programs that helps inform these experiences right now and i think i'll set a timer for maybe like four minutes and we'll see if we need more time it's flexible but in that time i'm going to ask our consultants to be noting questions that you have for the amigos team so i'm going to go ahead and make a space on this mural for our consultants to jot down their questions and i'll ask our consultants over here and lock this down to just double click in this area and add your questions on sticky notes if you have questions and you're in the audience not one of our panelists feel free to put them in the chat and i can add them to the mural as well yes thank you i appreciate that all right amigos team let's start so tell us a little bit about the feedback and storytelling components of your programs yeah absolutely so all of our programs um are based around what's called a positive youth development theory there's several different measurement and evaluation models that use that but where we're building some of our programs at this point is using outcomes developed by usaid um so things like do the youth at the end of the program do they feel capable of being leaders do they feel as though they have the skills to carry out a community initiative things on that on that level so that's sort of our longer term theory of change right so if they do our programs the idea is that then they are equipped to be a lifelong leader sharing responsibility uh for our global community so that's the sort of the bigger picture of our measurement and evaluation the smaller picture is in addition to hearing about you know the ways that the youth have been impacted long term the smaller picture is getting the feedback actually on our program so the visualizations that you'll see on the right are from our most recent program um about what their experience looked like and we use this in order to make changes um and improve our programming in order to better better meet the mission um we get feedback as logan and and haley put in here through a variety of surveys uh very fun stuff as well as through a participatory evaluation um at the end of the program and um hopefully continued engagement that's one of the ways that we know we're successful is if we have more folks like emma who do our programs and then come back and help run them i don't know if any other questions or if that's now i can share a little bit of perspective too from on the youth ambassador side of um you know being a uh grant funded program from the department of state's bureau of educational and cultural affairs we have a lot of different requirements for feedback as well um and quarterly reports and end of year reports that are too many pages long sometimes um and it's interesting because i think we have this you know really um we're working on getting a lot more quantitative data um but one of the challenges that i've personally found is like qualitative data you know when you're on the ground with students they are throwing out quotes left and right and you're you're actually very much seeing the feedback in like this live setting of um kid comes in and says wow i had this amazing moment with my host family today where we talked about x y and z and so that is um i think one of the ways that we get feedback today as well is um you know just in-person human interaction of chatting over breakfast and you hear a quote or you hear very much a live experience um and i think that is one of the probably one of the more unique ways we get feedback which is not coming necessarily to a form or a survey and isn't something that's necessarily recorded but just something that you hear and trying to think of ways of how i can record that and then as a non-profit i guess the final way we'll share data is we use data in order to try to get more funding and this is a way we're trying to make our programs more um accessible because you know it is unfortunately expensive um to do some of our programming and we're um looking to part uh looking to foundations and to donors to um for the opportunity to support uh a greater diversity of of participants so this data the goal one of the goals of this data is to to solicit that support from from donors and foundations as well got it it's funny i was on mute and i forgot to meet myself and i started talking and then i was like maybe that pause was good because that was a really good insight as well um sometimes as a facilitator you want to feel silence and sometimes it's okay to be quiet um so thank you guys for sharing something i just want to unpack and reflect on what i heard so a couple of ways you collect that data and what you're trying to do is of course with that information prove the value of the programs being able to share and convey the value to people who might be donating being able to um and of course convince people to come back and participate in again and again and it sounds like michael you were saying it's hard in a virtual environment to get that qualitative information where yeah you would you miss and this is the same with lots of teams today getting those organic opportunities that come up when you have a lunch or something and you don't have an opportunity necessarily anymore to do that so that's that's really helpful and i appreciate you guys sharing that now i want to turn it over to our consultants here on the call who has started adding questions and emma's been adding some questions from the audience so thank you for doing that emma so let me give a few minutes also for our consultants to start asking questions and remembering that we're focused on thinking about alleviating some of these pain points which are the team needs to be able to tell a strict story based on the data they're getting and i think there's also this element of being able to capture feedback in a way with the participants throughout the session um throughout the program i apologize the program even though you are in person and maybe not have those opportunities as often so i'm gonna invite um ross ross if you have any questions i'll set a timer but ross what's one question that you don't want to ask the group yes so i'm really interested in how the transition in your programming when everything went remote was received by uh the people that are participating in your program especially the students and if there were any thing that you discovered about the difference between the in-person engagements and now the new opportunities in the remote and if anything was better or worse and any of those improvements or opportunities that you find were working could be implemented or improved or highlighted through the feedback and storytelling that you're trying to share with your constituents yeah i think this is a this is a great question i think that one thing that we were proud of is that our data showed that the overall experience and um i don't like rating of like the participant experience was very comparable to the rest of our programs that we've operated for now 55 years so that was something we were really proud of that that stayed in the high 90s of um of satisfaction with the program um the other metric that i've or the other piece that i've been thinking about a lot is we ran a virtual program at a pretty reduced price over the summer as a pilot um so not knowing how successful we would be we did run it at a reduced price and we i think tripled our enrollment expectations um so it was something that we it was clearly a need um for students to have a space to think about what is happening in the world and how they plug into it the final piece that i'll share is that um our summer program um was the most racially deep like geographically and financially diverse program that we've run in our history and i think that a lot of that is because you don't have to get a passport you don't have to get on a plane um to have this experience you can have it from your own um your own bedroom or your own living room and that was um yeah something that we were very we were thrilled with um that this is a model that is more accessible to folks who need to work sometimes they can't just take six weeks and go to latin america it was more accessible to um to folks who are actually from latin america as well we had a higher percentage of people participating from latin america than we are able to support on our on our summer programs um so yeah those are just a couple of things um that's wonderful thank you all right um let's see jonathan what's one question you want to ask the amigos team okay i have a bunch i think the first one is the question about storytelling as as the way to engage people um versus dialogue and and i'm wondering if if there is a two-way component that might engage people after you tell their stories yeah absolutely i think a big big supporters of our organization are donors right and these donors it's about having those conversations and building those relationships through more like you say two-way storytelling we have a lot of donors who are alumni um so when they hear about a new virtual program that that makes them think back to oh my amigos experience was so different but that's so cool that it's it's being adapted to this new world i think the challenge where we do need to improve our storytelling is often times when you as a non-profit when you go to a major foundation you're one of hundreds of applicants that you need to stand out from a crowd you need to get that meeting so you can have that one-on-one dialogue and that's um i'm not on the development team but from what from my previous work that's something that's really hard to do to get past just submitting your application and getting that meeting with those grant officers as well as like people who just find us over the internet like how why are they gonna choose us um before we can get them on a phone for more of a sales conversation how do we tell them like we're really great at what we do um call us so we can talk to you about how um how our programs can impact you your you or your child or your family i love that the key message is we are great at what we do call us to learn more which yeah absolutely it's an important message to convey awesome all right cecilia what would you what question do you have for the amigos team hi haywa hey everyone uh i have to say first i have i was super excited because this topic makes three things that i love i'm from peru i love youth development and i love data so that was like yay this is a trifecta nice cecilia where where in peru are you from i'm from lima i'm from i used to live in i used to live in trujillo oh my god i've been in trouble for a few years yeah a lot of time there beautiful i'll go to my question sorry got excited no you're good you're good um if you don't mind i'm actually like in a sea of sticky notes um it's hard to pick out for specific questions so can you change the sticky note oh i'll add a few more minutes um can you change the sticky note that you want to ask about or the question asked about what what do you mean like change like switch yeah so if you click on the sticky note then you can change the color of it and if you could just make it like blue or something so because i'm trying to like capture the notes as well as as you guys are awesome i see i'm like fishing for notes okay um i'm trying to figure out how to do that but my question was like um to understand the audience for the comms pieces i think you kind of answer that right now saying it's more right now for you're thinking about the donor yeah that's me and this one is mine cool okay great but then maybe my question is more about how like the adults are engaged and adults that are part of of this youth life right because they are an important like piece of the story and how you convince them what type of story or message you want to tell them so they are part of your like your team as well right trying to involve you yeah i think it's really interesting there's there's so many different stakeholders involved in like each youth's experience you know you have parents you have maybe older siblings you have um in a lot of our programs we have like adult mentors or adult educators um for example emma um was in a similar role like that and when she was with the cip and i think overall um you know when we're talking with parents is one of the biggest things we want to promote is health and safety um that's our number one objective is you know we're bringing kids outside of their comfort zone um to live with new families and new places and now in a virtual setting you know the internet's a really scary place and i think we want to continue to uphold that um how do we show families that their students logging in every day are coming to a safe and healthy place and that you know not only in the sense of the internet with external um you know individuals coming in but how do we keep their mental health safe throughout this really really difficult time when we have students you know sitting in front of a computer not only for school but now as well for amigos and so we're trying to think of these alternative ways okay we're not on the internet but how do we engage maybe that is doing zumba classes or having you do a virtual zoom tour of your favorite park with a latin american student in colombia and trying to really get that engagement out there and so i think to go back to that point is um you know with parents i think our number one thing that we're trying to provide is health and safety along with quite a few other different things but um it's yeah i don't know i think that for me is one of the things that i've seen is the most um you know the the first concern when a parent hears about our program um but it is really exciting to see that evolution throughout the program by the end of the program they realize that their kid has that covered and now they're focusing on you know that's the new piece of feedback going back to the feedback that we can see is okay how has a parent seen their kids interactions change at home or maybe the stories that their kids are sharing with them and i think that is the really really unique place that we get this new interesting feedback is um also parent surveys do they feel that their kids are health and safety or have health and safety did they see any distinct changes within their students um what was their student's experience like thank you that's really helpful and i want to also take a moment to um for everybody on the call to make sure that you guys know how to change sticky note colors because it is personally like a really helpful way to differentiate um in a sea of notes like which ones are yours for example so if you guys will practice along with me to find your sticky notes what you can do is actually click on the sticky note and you'll see there's this blue border that's around it when you've selected it and you get this toolbar above so there's a section that says color and mural gives you a rainbow of colors you can add custom colors you can also um choose the color of your avatar so mine's always this forest green color that i love so much but that's a good way to to know who sticky notes are whose so um yeah please feel free to do that and choose a color that that you that speaks to you in a way all right um let's see we have lee i think is the last last person to ask leigh is there any other question you wanted to everyone to learn more about uh yeah actually i was really curious um just the one highlighted orange here and i want to zoom into my question to get it right but yeah yeah does participation change based on when you engage with uh with youth in general do you tend to have sessions at night or when they're not in school um this would be personally helpful for me to know but also like that would have to do with um how they choose to engage with evaluation or or providing feedback to you i'd love to hear i can share i guess a unique experience with this um which is when i'm you know get to be on the ground with students in an in-person exchange one of the first things i i think about is like really how a student's mood can impact feedback um you know if we've had a really rough day and it's like our second to last day and we want to give out this participant feedback how is that you know are they going to even want to open up and give feedback are they going to just be in this bad mood overall versus um you know if you're giving them a survey after an amazing um i don't know they just saw a llama and they are having a great time and that's something that i've really thought about um just like integrity of feedback and how do you get good quality feedback um that not only speaks well of your organization but is also constructive um and helpful um you know in in all senses and that is something that i don't necessarily know if i have the answer to um and like i i it's just something that's kind of been in my mind i'm seeing different different moments when we're collecting feedback as for like increased participation and the program that i just ran this summer was the youth ambassador's virtual program and we had students from pacific standard time to eastern standard time including host families in uruguayan time so we had like a scale of six hours and so finding that time during the day when you want to do an activity is like okay our students out of class um on the east on the west coast our host family is in bed in uruguay and trying to find you know not only are people participating at different times a day but how time zones kind of play into that um one really fun ex like example of that is we had a california youth ambassador making breakfast um while their family and uruguay was eating lunch and they were gonna you know make a breakfast recipe together um but then you get this unique um you know they were like joking around and saying oh we're gonna make brunch together because it's the middle time zone for both of us um but i guess overall it's been really interesting to see um in my opinion that we have been doing a little bit you know as compared to our in-person exchange our virtual exchange is longer for less hours a day um because we're not together in person and at first i was a little anxious about that thinking okay we're meeting for six weeks for a few hours a day online versus three in-person weeks in a new country to all the participants are they gonna still be engaged by week six and i think one of the things i was surprised i guess not surprised by it makes sense looking back but is i felt they came with a lot more energy to each session you know we were spreading things out and so although my initial fear was by week six will they still be invested and i found that every time they were coming back with more energy just because they had you know that time to recuperate and step away essentially from the program um in the sense of we weren't surrounded by each other 24 7 for three weeks and that was a really unique i think positive outcome that i did not expect of the virtual programming programming where i had previously thought okay by the end of this will they be exhausted of just like logging in every day but i think it was a surprisingly positive outcome of virtual programming yeah and i think the the other piece that i'll add um just from from looking at the market and looking at our you know customers or our participants it's right now it's really hard to know what people want um we know that there's this desire for a way a space for youth to talk about all of the issues that are going on in the world and to figure out where they fit in but the method of doing that is it's hard to figure out right now um because we don't know do they even want to be online more after school some of them do some of them don't what time is it right after school is it late at night is it over the weekends and on most of our programs excluding youth ambassadors which is a super super competitive program that they literally get thousands of applications for 40 spots we have to cater to a really broad audience on our open enrollment type programs um so how do we balance being flexible with create recreate over and over recreating the wheel to try to figure out what the what the market is actually um asking for right now so i think if we think about participation um as you know enrollment numbers and like getting actually students in to our programs in order to meet our mission and support them in becoming leaders one challenge is not knowing um the best method to do that in the in this new environment um because we're seeing we saw really great demand over the summer um and now that demand is a little bit lower with schoolers with schools starting so what does do we need to zoom out and like rethink the model or do we need to just make some tweaks and those are the those are the questions that logan and i are struggling with with right now is knowing what people want and people could be the students the parents the the staff who are working yeah yeah absolutely awesome um so what i i'm i want to be mindful of time too because all of this information i i feel like we need to do like more please like come to more backstage passes because there are some really cool challenges that i would love to unpack and being mindful of the fact that we have about 15 more minutes or so together on backstage pass i want to give everybody on the in the audience and our consultants the opportunity to just go back and scan all the information that we've captured here and that you've heard and remember that for today our session focus is thinking about using the feedback from these programs that you're collecting at the beginning of your of your programs during these programs and then afterwards to then help tell stories about the value and impact to people like donors to parents who might be signing their kids up for these programs and to staff members or alumni who want to um kind of share experiences or learn more about what the initiatives that you guys are doing so i'm going to give everybody a moment to go through and scan this mural and remind yourselves a little bit of what we've covered here with that with that mindset does that make sense and what i'm gonna do is i'll give us like about two minutes to do that and for our audience members if you're in the mural please by all means go ahead and go around and scan and view the mural i'll also use my little x key right here to zoom in on sticky notes which i can do by uh to zoom so see notes and elements without zooming in at all and there's about another minute as you're scanning if there's something an insight or something that you think will be helpful if you're thinking about this challenge go ahead and change the color of that sticky note to black and that way it'll stand out all right how are we doing do you guys need more time to review and scan um i'm happy to give a little bit more time one more minute okay let's say this is one more minute i'll add another minute or so and while you guys are doing that i'm actually going to go and over to the side and start setting up for the next part of our session kelly is there a way to highlight just part of the text in a box no not just part of the text only on text boxes you can do that all right crew so what i'm going to do now is i want to make sure i capture okay i have a few more people i need to capture over here i am going to ask you to follow me and i'm going to explain the next step in our time together um all right so um i think about we have about 10 minutes to go this is going to be very packed but nonetheless what i would love for you guys to do is i've made different kind of individual spaces for you to work in different areas so each i've added your name to each area and what this is is kind of a space for you to start brainstorming or developing a potential solution focused around the storytelling component so i'm gonna give you guys the last i think like six minutes or so to start brainstorming in whatever way you see fit so that could be just a couple of examples sticky notes just write a bunch of your ideas down on sticky notes if that's what you're comfortable with that's the best way to do it other ways that you could do some prototyping is to find icons search for icons that map match an idea that you're thinking about and add them onto the mural so you could say if i type in the word story i can drag an icon into my area you could find images as well same thing you can search images and bring them onto the mural um or you can draw if you're feeling like a working with some hand-drawn art you can use the draw tool over on the toolbar and do some hand-drawn sketches so the toolbar is really your space to start adding visual elements into the mural i know i went through that fairly quickly any questions crew should there be one for me am i not seeing it um there should be but i probably did not i was like okay did i get everybody who is that i apologize jonathan jonathan hi sorry thank you to haley okay guys i'm so sorry um i was like trying to talking and muraling can be a little bit a little challenging and michael or oh my gosh yes michael thank you so much of course all right so michael yours is over here towards the end and jonathan i see it perfect okay i'm gonna go ahead and start the timer for about six minutes give you guys some time to work and create in our audience i know you guys have tons of ideas and emma you've been amazing about capturing ideas so i'm going to continue adding them over here so keep putting them in the chat and i'll put them on this mural in team while you're working i'm actually going to put on our remote workshops playlist from spotify and give you guys some i was just thinking that we had to have like beginning music for backstage fast yes we do the theme song all right [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] all right hi everybody know that that time goes really fast and i want to be mindful of everyone's time too if you do have to jump off a few minutes early we do always ask for our audience feedback as well in the chat so if you can share a rating for this session in terms of just how satisfied you were if it's helpful on a scale of 1 to 10 and why that is always super helpful for us um to learn more and we deeply appreciate it i do want to share maybe two ideas um from our audience or our consultants today who have heard been working with us so let me see um who would like to share if you have a i'll give you one minute to share cecilia every i saw your hand raised so i'm going to come over to yours cecilia and i'll ask everyone to follow me alright tell us about your idea so i heard a lot about it was difficult to connect because it's virtual so how can we get that feedback that you get when you you see the person right so something for me was like make like a smaller groups you have like a mentor a team captain something like that who collects the ideas who collect the data with the use and for the use in an easy way you can do emoticons you can do something every week that they can respond easily and they don't need to express all that and or that can be a starting point for okay why did you feel like that you know and that grace trusts and i didn't have to put other things but um i think just just slicing it in bits of pieces that make people feel comfortable when providing their feedback even they are not on the same room awesome and emmy i see you adding sticky notes kind of to these ideas so thank you for doing that good best practice uh thank you all right one more who else would like to share one anyone else ross i see um oh jonathan you go ahead apologies i think i finally figured it out so yeah it was combined it's very simple but i was trying to combine the idea of parent feedback um about what's important to them about their kids experience with it's not about whether they liked it or not but about how they changed so having parents talk about changes they've seen in their kids through this nice that's awesome i imagine even something like loom um is a really good tool to get that feedback um and sharing some stories and examples would be really cool all right well thank you guys we're at the top of the hour and i deeply appreciate your participation and and advice from our consultants to the amigos team and to emma thank you guys so much for joining us i know confetti in mural gets me every darn time and we also how do you do that yeah so as i'm going to make you a facilitator by the way um so you can use it actually um let me find you logan here you go so it's a facilitation superpower where if you have a little star icon you can hover over your avatar press celebrate and throw some confetti around the kids will lose their minds over it um because i'm an adult and i lose my mind over it every time um so thank you guys so much i really do appreciate you joining i did save the chat because we had some really great nuggets of wisdom from our audience so i will save it and then put it in this mural so you can come back and look at it anytime but deeply appreciate you guys being here so much logan and me michael and emily and emma all of the m's who are here with us today um but have a really wonderful weekend and yeah looking forward to having you guys welcome back anytime for more more collaboration would appreciate it take care everyone thank you it was really fun thanks so much for having us bye guys ciao
