In 2022 AIME will focus on being a key platform for a fairer world. Going from creator to co-creator We have built the stage, now let’s fill it.

Over the holidays I’ve been thinking that the challenge is often when an idea lands, and how it’s boxed up. This done well can mean no work at all with everyone loving it, or lots of work

I’m hoping this plan will be less work, less of a sell and easier.

The time is now and here’s how we are going to change the world.

1. Ambassadors

For the first 4 months of 2022 we are going to recruit 1000 Ambassadors of IMAGI-NATION. Ambassadors will get the chance to train at IMAGI-NATION{University} (Note — we move Uni behind the AIME walls, to get in, you gotta be an IMAGI-NATION Ambassador).

200 x 5 Student groups get:

  1. Whatsapp group — network
