Going Virtual
Designing Shared Activities During a Pandemic
Not your average Zoom hang.
Many of us are asking ourselves the same question: how do we keep communities in our lives and work connected through the pandemic?
With fewer in-person get togethers and a mounting sense of Zoom fatigue, the gaps between us are widening. Yet we need each other more than ever. Intentionally cultivating communities–whether personal or professional–has never been more urgent or more challenging.
How might we adjust our plans and get our people together today?
Going Virtual from Get Together School is a week-long inspo and ideas fest for designing virtual shared activities.
Communities feel magical, but they don’t come together by magic.
Whether you’re forming a community around a product, cause or personal passion, your people need a shared activity. That thing you all do together that brings to life why your group exists. You probably had plans for what to organize this year, then those plans got scrapped. So let’s reset.
The inescapable truth is that some shared activities are better than others. Especially now, you’ll have to exceed expectations if you want people to show up and keep showing up.
In our time together, we’ll refill your community-building tank with:
Guiding principleS
Zoom isn’t the problem. The challenge is refocusing. Why will people come together now? What makes a remarkable shared activity?
Inspiration across industries
Hand-selected stories from practitioners at startups, grassroots orgs and groups who are successfully sustaining communities online.
Focused time to jam
Prototype new ideas, remix old ones and get feedback.
Peer guidance
Ideate and take action alongside a cohort of leaders also working to get their people together during this strange time.

We don’t have all the answers. You know your people better than we do. But we do have a process that will help you make smarter bets when connecting your people. Together we can navigate this unusual time.
