VEDAugust 2017 Topics Calendar
For those of you (like me) who like to plan and film ahead, here are the topics for this month! I tried to include as many suggestions you all gave in the sign-up/brainstorming doc as I could. If you don’t like a certain topic, or you have regular content you need to publish during VEDA, no hard feelings. You are welcome to skip and do a topic of your own choosing!
Love your faces!

August 1: Intro day & recommend a fave creator
Tell us about yourself, what’s new in your life since last time, if you’re a newbie what should we know about you/your channel?, tell us about some of your other favorite creators online.
August 2: Top 5 Goals
What do you want to do this month? In life? For your channel? For VEDA? For your favorite hobby? For eating?
August 3: It’s Esther Day!
It’s a day dedicated to showing non-romantic love to the people around you. How do you like to be shown love or how do you like to show others you love them?
August 4: Weekly Wrap-Up!
This topic is slightly selfish because I do booktube but… I know some of us who have YouTube channels that regularly give wrap ups of what they’re reading/watching/ writing/cooking/crafting/etc. You can pick whatever you like to wrap up! Maybe just what you did this week. (Could be a fun opportunity for a “week in the life” video) Or what your favorite videos were for VEDA. Whatever you want!

August 10: Making a Difference - Tell us about your favorite charity or something you’re passionate about. (Please note: with WVC we pride ourselves on being open and accepting of ALL people in ALL walks of life to make this a safe community for everyone to be themselves. We try to keep our topics light hearted and open-ended but do get serious sometimes. If someone is passionate about a topic or charity you don’t agree with, that’s okay! But we can still be polite and supportive even when we don’t agree.)

August 17: Making a Difference- How do you prevent emotional burnout/finding your happy place? Sometimes when we talk politics/tough issues/volunteer a lot/think about the state of the country or world - it gets overwhelming. What do you do when you need a break from it all?

August 20: My Life- My Favorite Place
Show/Tell us about your favorite place in your neighborhood/outside of the house.
August 21: Firsts- First Day of School!
Depending on where you live, it’s roughly around the time when the school year is starting up again. I thought we could have fun with this topic! What was your first day of school when you were a little kid like? Or maybe you transferred to a new school and have a great story to go along with it. Or the day you moved into the dorms for the first time. Or what you think it would be like if you went back to school now. Have fun with it!
August 22: Hypothetical- Would you rather know when you’ll die, or how you’ll die?

August 26: Collab Day!
Make a video with someone else! It can be someone you know, someone you live with, a friend, a pet, or even fellow VEDAers! I put this topic at the end of the month in case any VEDA people want to get together and make a video so you all have time to plan. Be creative!
August 27: My Life- How do you spend your day(s) off?
How do you like to relax? Who do you spend time with? This is one of those topics which could be fun to do a “day in the life” type of video as well!
August 28: Your first recital/performance.
Did you ever have to do a performance as a little kid and have a story to go along with it? Or maybe you never performed or stood on stage until you were older? Maybe you still have the video footage? Or perhaps your kids have a funny story?
