SUMMARY

Department Description

One of the DAO’s core values is Education. The Education Department plays a key role in DAO Member Onboarding and maintaining live educational infrastructure for members, guilds, departments, and projects. With our new Ed3 DAO collaboration continuing in Season 9, our Live Sessions will be available to non-Bankless DAO Discord members as well.

The Services we provide to DAO Members and Units that align with the DAO’s Mission, Vision, & Values are as follows:

New members are first welcomed with New Joiner Sessions, which provide an opportunity to become more familiar with the people, projects, and processes of BanklessDAO. Then, for those who may never have worked within a DAO before, we offer the necessary information to get started.

The Knowledge Session series is primarily focused on members wishing to advance their web3 and DeFi understanding to the next level, which is necessary for effective work in web3, while the How-To series caters to members looking to develop to become effective DAO members through an ever-evolving calendar of workshops.

We had 3 new joiners get onboarded to become teachers, and we had our teachers develop and improve their courses. We also have the following operational highlights:
