How to meet fellow Sandboxers?
Sandbox’s beauty lies in the serendipity that happens when you meet a new friend, lover, partner, co-founder, mentor or someone who challenges your views within the community.
How to stay up to date?
Staying in touch with the global community is fundamental for your sense of belongingness.
For that we have channels you 100% should be part of:
The Sandbox Global Newsletter is a monthly community update sent by the Communications Working Group, where you can read Hub news, the most up-to-date list of retreats, global news, governance news, and all about initiatives happening in the community. To subscribe, reach out to your ambassador.
SuperHive is Sandbox's one and only interactive newsletter for sharing, offering and looking for support. Each week 1200 members receive this email. Subscribe here.
We have a WhatsApp community with more than 60 chats – from local hubs to Sandbox Today chat to AI discussions, founder chat, book club, and everything in between. You should be able to access all these chats via the community section, once you’re added to your local Hub chat.
We have established a member database where every single Sandbox member is registered. You can see all other members there, their contact details, and hubs. Unaty is also our main source for governmental actions like the yearly opt-in, which allows you to vote on initiatives and bylaws changes. To do that, you'll have to officially opt-in into our Swiss Association
We've implemented a tool called AddEvent to share community calendars and events. Take a look at the upcoming events and add to your existing calendar here.
