🧩 Template Notes & Tips for SayPro Organizers
- Customizable Sessions: The template is modular—sessions can be renamed, merged, or replaced based on the retreat’s format (e.g., youth-focused, leadership, creative arts).
- Color-Coding: Consider color-coding time blocks by type:
- 🟦 Workshops
- 🟨 Breaks
- 🟥 Keynotes / Group Activities
- 🟩 Networking
- Virtual Adaptation: For hybrid/online retreats, include Zoom/Teams/Meet links in the “Location” column and schedule short digital breaks.
- Time Buffer: Build in transition time between sessions, especially for in-person events where participants need to move between rooms.
- Accessibility: Indicate any sessions with captioning, interpretation, or mobility-friendly setups.
✅ Optional Additions
