Ektimis FAQ's
Q1: What does the word EKTIMIS stand for?
Hint: It is derived from a non-English word!
Q2: What is the purpose and objective of Ektimis?
The purpose of Ektimis is to provide a forum for discussion and insightful exploration of a variety of subjects and themes focused on the topic of respect—a measure of valuation—in various settings (home, workplace, school, public, etc.) To this end there are three main objectives behind Ektimis:
- To Inform – by transferring knowledge—on well researched topics—to the reader
- To Enlighten – by facilitating understanding of selected topics
- To Empower – by motivating and inspiring (to action)
Q3: Who is the Ektimis audience?
Anyone can benefit from Ektimis; however, it is intended for an audience that includes, primarily, parents (charged with young children and teenagers) and couples, young adults, and professionals.
There are plans underway for Ektimis for Kids. This online publication is due for release later in 2008.
Q4: How often is Ektimis published?
Ektimis is published twice a month, two weeks apart. The current target schedule is during the 2nd week and the 4th week of every month.
Q5: What types of topics will be covered in Ektimis?
The plan is to cover topics rooted in the concept of respect, and that meet the three objective criteria listed in question #2 above. Such topics will primarily include subjects that foster critical thinking and introspective reflection—that is, in-depth views that most people never consider or give a second thought, but yet deem very relevant and important.
Q6: Can I share some of my experiences with you, to share with other readers?
Absolutely. The Ektimis online forum is intended to facilitate sharing of experiences for the benefit of others. Reader feedback and testimonies will be given fair consideration for publication on the Ektimis Reader View section.
