Academic Room Guidelines

Welcome to our Academic Discussion!

Here some guidelines to help our room run smoothly

• Academic Discussions are recorded.
• The academic discussion lasts 1h.
• The audience will receive invites to join the discussion about a key topic related to Bipolar. 
• Audience members have the choice to decline and engage in the discussion in the chat section. Listening in podcast mode is fine.
• If you want to join the discussion after the invites are sent, you can raise your hand.
• A number of questions related to the topic will be asked to people who joined the stage.
• The questions are pinned in the room.
• You can answer the questions or decline to answer.
• This is a brave and safe space where we can talk about anything and everything without feeling judged.
• We should be kind and respectful.
• Let’s give space to others to express themselves without interrupting each other.
• It’s always good to mute your microphone when you’re not talking;  just remember to un-mute when you are talking. 
• It is an open and guided academic discussion, so there is no PTR order.
• 30 minutes after the beginning of the session, a synthesis from multiple sources will be read.
• The resources used as a reference for the academic discussion are pinned in the room.
• Generally we have Clubhouse glitches, so you may have to leave and return to the stage
• At the end of each session, you will have the possibility to vote for the next academic discussion’s topic.
