It does sound like an interesting approach I look forward to it being a
successful format, will there time at the end of the day for panel sessions
to further explore the days discussions. Like Mina I too have been working
with disadvantaged and oppressed communities to bring their knowledge,
language, and culture into the Wiki world.
It'll be an interesting challenge for the program committee to judge the
where a talk submission fits, not just in time but also in content.

Wow! This is a great idea, and I hope it will change
our outlook on the
Wikimedia movement and the potential it carries for change at a much
greater level than building and sharing knowledge... I have been trying to
bring attention to what participation in the movement can do for
disadvantaged individuals practically on my own in my community, and now
reading this... and the connection with the SDGs... it's more than exciting
:)
Looking forward to seeing how this develops!
Best,
Mina

Hi all,
The Wikimania organizing team is now happy to announce the *Program
Design* <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design> of
Wikimania 2019!
We believe that this year’s conference theme
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Theme> requires a format that
is *future-oriented, collaborative, active, and focused on practical
problem-solving. *The program will therefore consist of a series of
parallel *spaces* (or tracks), lead by *leaders,* and through practical
training, learning, idea-sharing and cross-cultural collaboration focusing
on different *topic areas*.
The call for proposals for these *Leaders*, and what they would like to
do with those *Spaces*, is NOW OPEN. We invite you to visit the Program
Design page <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design> on
the Wikimania Wiki to read more.
Best,
*Eric Luth*
