On August 11th, Long Yicchen and Jia Yucheng, together with other students from universities such as Shandong University and Hebei Normal University, held a heated discussion on the theme of "the establishment and management of associations"。
Topic 1: How can the establishment of a high school community obtain the support of the school
The High School attached to Tsinghua University has always strongly supported students to set up associations, and there are fewer obstacles in the establishment of associations。
Topic 2: Funding sources of the Association and how to better organize activities under the circumstance of limited social expenses
In the process of discussion, we learned that most of the associations have the problem of shortage of funds, in response to this problem, the representatives of Tsinghua High School put forward their own suggestions: first, to fight for the prize money of the top ten associations, and then to sell some social badges, bookmarks and other association peripheral products when doing roadside astronomy。In the case of limited social expenses, the existing equipment can be used to carry out roadside astronomy and other small popular science activities to improve the visibility and influence of the community。The delegates agreed。
Topic 3: Coordination between club activities and school official recognition
Tsinghua High School supports all reasonable community activities, but during the discussion, we learned that many universities are concerned about student safety and have varying degrees of restrictions on outdoor observation activities。In this regard, Tsinghua High School students gave their own suggestions: you can find teachers in the school to go with the team, reimburse their activities;In addition, it is best to go to a reliable, popular choice of stargazing places to ensure the safety of the activity。
Session discussion
In the evening of August 11, there was a partial eclipse of the sun, and everyone ran to the seaside with their cameras, ready to take pictures of the beautiful sky。The members of Tsinghua Affiliated Zhongtian Association and the students of North Zhongtian League and Suzhongtian League enjoyed the solar eclipse and exchanged information about the development of various associations。

The Weihai Forum not only enhanced the understanding and trust among the members of the Association, but also allowed the students to broaden their horizons, learn from the successful experience of other domestic astronomical societies in the development of the association, and pointed out the direction for the next development of the association。
Finally, I hope the association will do better and better in the new school year!
