🎉 Contribute to SAGE Social Life

We love when team members take initiative!
If you have an idea for a social event or want to organize something—you are extremely welcome to do so.

Think:

  • Team dinners 🍝
  • Board game nights 🎲
  • Hikes, movie nights, etc. 🚶🎥
  • Workshops or tutorials 🛠️ (check with @Fiona Konnerth to see if it fits the bi-weekly program)

How to start:

  1. Post your idea in #sage-team or #sage-social to gather interest.
    You can also propose ideas or announce events at the bi-weekly team meeting—it’s a great way to get people involved!
    (DM Fiona Konnerth if you want help to get this started 🙂)
  2. DM Fiona Konnerth if you want support with planning or booking space.
  3. Just go for it and bring people together! 💪
