# [#SocialAdvent: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year](https://www.interactiveschools.com/blog/social-advent-2019-promo)

 Written by [Interactive Schools Blog](https://www.interactiveschools.com/blog/author/socialinteractiveschools-com) | 21 November 2019

Some have described it as the most wonderful time of the year and December means only one thing in the Interactive Schools HQ…

**What is #SocialAdvent?**

For those of you who are not aware (where have you been?!) we run an annual social extravaganza that goes by the name of #SocialAdvent - **25 days of social and digital challenges** for your school to take part in. 

Missed last year’s **#SocialAdvent**? [Check out all of the action from last year and our lucky winners](https://blog.interactiveschools.com/blog/socialadvent2018-winners).

**Why should my school take part in #SocialAdvent?**

- **Show off **your skills in all things digital and social.
- A great way to **showcase** the brilliant things that take place at your school. 
- **Learn** new social media skills that will help in your school marketing efforts for 2020. 
- **Collaborate** and **communicate** with schools all around the world. 
- A great way to **get the pupils involved**.
- You could be one of our lucky daily **winners**. 
- We will **retweet **all of your entries to over [13k followers](https://twitter.com/intschools).

**How can my school take part?**

- Current clients of Interactive Schools will shortly receive a printed desk calendar from the postman. 
- If your school is not a current client of Interactive Schools or you have not received this in the post, do not fear! Simply fill in the form below to download a digital version of the calendar. 
- Most of the challenges can be scheduled in advance, handy for the weekend challenges! If you need any help scheduling, get in touch with our team (social@interactiveschools.com)

- Have fun and take part in the daily, festive challenges.
