# Slack Workspace

Our main communication channel is Slack. Slack is like a collection of group chats but better – including better file sharing and most important: custom emojis and a very good giphy integration for all kinds of shenanigans. :wink:

We use Slack for to coordinate the local chapters as well as for the organization of the activities of "central" CorrelAid, e.g. the organization of projects, meetups, etc. For example:

* We work on the different CorrelAid topics in the **channels**. Channels are either designated to a certain topic (e.g. #projects for projects, #education for eductation, #fundraising for collaborating on grant proposals) or are focused on local chapters (#lc-bremen, #lc-berlin, #lc-mannheim, ...). If you are interested in a certain topic and/or local chapter, you can join the corresponding channel(s) to see what's already going on. Or even better: **share your ideas**!
* If you need help with anything related to CorrelAid or data science or coding, feel free to ask away in the #help-channel.
* found a funny Meme or Gif and need to share with someone? Stumbled across a very useful tutorial for something? Post it to #random!
* **Have a new idea that doesn't fit in any channel? Need people to join you for something exciting?** Post it in #general!
