SCENE belongs within Le Press. Your Le Press Circle account, any public social links and admission to a future SCENE circle are distinct choices. This prototype does not link its local choices to your account or import social connections.
Use the existing Le Press account page for your profile and communication preferences. A future connected SCENE service can extend that relationship with explicit circle membership and visibility choices.

Add public Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn or other social links and choose who can see them. A manually added link should say “Added by member.” A completed provider connection has a separate status.
Instagram’s professional API is for Business and Creator accounts. A pasted personal handle is not Instagram sign-in.
Choose your city, interests, practical availability and access preferences. SCENE can suggest relevant circles, explain the fit and let you decide whether to request a place or an invitation.
Following a creator, joining a circle, booking an event and joining its chat are separate actions.

Before a production launch: configure approved applications, validate provider tokens on the server, securely link accounts and provide recovery, visibility and unlink controls. Private contacts and followers are not imported by this concept.
Start with a few well-moderated groups. Keep public updates easy to follow and joining a discussion voluntary.
A host creates an app group and shares an invitation after members see the charter. Use this for reading circles, practice teams and recurring activities.
Ordinary app groups support up to 1,024 members. SCENE’s suggested pilot circles should be much smaller.A human-managed umbrella can organise related groups. Create it in the regular WhatsApp app; the Business app currently cannot create Communities.
Consider an umbrella after moderation and group ownership work reliably.Use a SCENE channel for programme announcements, creator features and cultural highlights. The Business app supports Channels where the feature is available.
Followers can react or vote. They cannot reply directly to channel updates.Meta now documents a Cloud API Groups feature, but it requires Official Business Account status and has a maximum of 8 group participants. Business-app numbers are excluded. It is an optional later route for small project teams; it is not the foundation for large city interest groups.
Members join API groups by invitation. This prototype does not create groups, add people or send WhatsApp messages.
Open any circle and choose “Prepare WhatsApp charter.” Copy its purpose, welcome and rules into a draft for the future group administrator. Before invitations go live, confirm a host, backup, reporting route and real meeting.
Before a real invitation: explain that members may see phone numbers and WhatsApp profile information. Obtain a separate opt-in for direct business messages. Offer a way to participate without joining WhatsApp.

Provider features and account eligibility can change. No automatic Community or Channel management integration is implemented or assumed.
Circle ideas support the Foundation’s Culture & Community purpose at Le Press. Each real programme needs a named host, agreed purpose, budget and access arrangements. Cultural funding follows its agreed scope; private invitations and personal exchanges remain separate.
