Attended by all NMOs, it the perfect place for you to meet new people, make friends and if you’re attending SCORA sessions, you’ll leave a part of a tribe. Before each GA, a toolkit is shared with all delegates. The toolkit consists of the agenda, the topics to be discussed and things to carry with you. While the agenda from each meet changes, there are some things you are always expected to carry:
If you want to host a SCORA event or training email your RA with your amazing ideas! This request will be analyzed by the SCORA International Team together with the Vice President of Activities (VPA) and Capacity Building (VPCB).

TIP #6
The best thing that you can do in SCORA sessions is to SPEAK UP! Each session is aimed to be as interactive as possible and it is most effective if you, as a participant, gets involved. Each session ends with feedback and as a delegate, the feedback you give is utilised to make sessions better. Thus try to be as accurate in your appraisal of each session and be honest about your experience. The last thing is the most important: ENJOY each and every minute because you’ll probably cry (of happiness) when it ends.
It's all about turning creativity into reality, if you can think it, then you can do it. We stand to think globally and act locally. The only thing you might need to make that live turning campaign might be just your passion, commitment and a click of others. The manuals are written guides to help out and so is the RA. Don't forget, we're Angels without Wings.
TIP #3 There is a lot to take in (lots of names and procedures). DON'T FREAK OUT! Always know you have your fellow LORAs and NORAs to help you out! Contact your corresponding RA for any question! Oh, you are a new NMO? The DA will be there for you 24/7!

TIP #7 Are you worried about speaking or understanding another language? Please, don’t be! Meetings are safe spaces where everyone has the right to participate, be heard, and understand what is going on. The SCORA team will work hard to translate if there are words or ideas that you find difficult to understand in English. Besides, fun fact: SCORAngels are amazing at charades! So, one way or another, we get the message across (and have fun doing it).
