OP: this is not a direct criticism of your idea or implementation (in fact, by the end, you might notice I'm not sure I even have a valid criticism here), just a general observation on a trend I feel is common on this sort of initiative. I don't know about y'all, but I hate this idea of random 1-on-1s. Nothing sends my anxiety levels to the freaking roof as the idea of having to talk alone to a complete stranger. Mak…
Gaining experiences through the platform might be a useful tool for mitigating that anxiety.
But if you have a therapist, maybe talk to them first. Or not. Or you don't.
My point being that learning as an adult means breaking habits, jumping into situations that you habitually avoid, and generally doing things that you are either bad at or put you at discomfort.
