At Positive Academia we believe that embracing small positive actions in our daily academic work can contribute to the positive transformation of our academic culture.
Our Every Little Action Counts campaign will be running from 2024 to 2025. During this period, we kickstart your week with ideas for positive actions every Monday.
We encourage everyone to try and make a positive difference and advocate for such actions in their environment. We look forward to hearing about, and learning from, your experience and inputs.
Join our collective movement [https://www.linkedin.com/company/positive-academia] and become an advocate of Positive Academia!
#EveryLittleActionCounts (Week 1: One Email at the time)
You are only one message away from contributing to #positiveacademia! We believe that we all can make academia a kinder place by simply appreciating each other.
Hence, we encourage everyone to send at least one nice message either via email or social media post (e.g., LinkedIn recommendation or endorsement), appreciating somebody’s (colleague, co-author, student) work, achievements, or collaboration. For ideas on how to do this have a look at Anne-Wil’s post on changing academic culture here: Using LinkedIn recommendations to support others (harzing.com)
We would be happy to hear your ideas and thoughts by replying to this post!
Best wishes,
Anne-Wil & Christa
