COLLABORATION(?): POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS

[quinning]

• Does your character want to go to wizardy university/college/academy after Gooseberry?
• Did your senior character apply to post-secondary training programs? (ex. Auror or Healer training, Potions degrees, Magizoology diplomas, etc.)

COME COLLABORATE!
(if you want to!)

During downtime a few of us discussed Healer training programs (where they might be, when acceptances come out, blah blah blah). We made a Google Doc but never really took it anywhere, and last night I went back and made the doc into a monster. I'm giving everyone access to said doc, and I have two ~hopes~ for what it can BE and DO for ME and YOU:

1. Provide a list of established IC post-secondary programs/schools we've made up
2. Help flesh out IC discussions about where seniors are torn between moving to, etc.

AS WITH ALL MY HARE-BRAINED GOOSEBERRY PROJECTS, THIS IS BY NO MEANS SOMETHING ANYONE HAS TO USE, REFER TO, OR PARTICIPATE IN. Do your own thing! Ignore this post if you want! It's totally cool~

OK. SO. I took the original doc and made up 12 Healer training programs in Canada and the USA based loosely on real med schools. Most of them are part of larger wizarding schools that are affiliated with Muggle colleges. "Affiliated" might mean historically (read: loosely) or that the maj and nomaj programs have some actual partnership.

Right now it's only got Healing programs because that's how it started, but the document is not exclusive to Healing! It's for any post-Gooseberry program and/or school! This includes but is not limited to programs for: Aurors, Healers, Potioneers, Magizoologists, Artificists, and Curse-Breakers.

• If you made up a program and/or school that characters can refer to IC, add it to the doc! This link takes you to the editable version of the Google Document.
• If you want to brainstorm some programs for your character(s) to discuss, feel free to do so in the comments!
• I'm not going through the comments to add new schools/etc., so if you come up with something and you want it added you've got to do it yourself ♥

Hopefully I made this more or less clear. :| I have no idea because my brain's a jumble today. If there's anything I can clear up, just ask!!!

& Here's a sample of what the document looks like right now:

(FYI: as of writing this edit, the comments have discussions about aurors, healers, pro quidditch, politics, and general academics.)

oooooh you make really good points about the whole practice of tomb raiding. i am looking at this from a banking side thinking how.. that's not really how banks work. at all. (though gj to the british goblins for convincing everyone this is a totally legit way to increase their capital.) i would kind of like to hope that maybe there are curse-breakers out there who are being employed to recover dangerous artifacts and such to help protect the general public or whatever and not just to go steal a bunch of dead people's belongings to make some banks richer.

and omg i knew what you meant but congrats on the death eater paper, nice

the goblins just have personal interest, maybe? they use their privilege/occupational standing to collect cool shit because it's COOL :p and whatever, yeah capital, hand wave, it's always been this way & people just like go with it?

maybe there are OPPOSING cursebreaking scenes in the US?
i mean it kind of echoes issues w early cultural anthropology & stuff? maybe there's been like whole IDEOLOGICAL MOVEMENTS and ERAS and now the cursebreaking profession is changing into something more akin to like -- property repatriation and protection, raising of awareness, community development? like indiana jones meets parks and rec meets like humanities academia + government
