*Hello,As you know, on 6-7 October 2018 (with a dinner on Friday 5th),
Wikimedia Sverige will organize a small event with our sister affiliates in
Northern Europe – Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018>
(WikiNEM). It will take place at Goto10 <https://www.goto10.se/english/> in
Stockholm. This is the first regional conference and we hope it will be a
recurrent event. About the eventThe aim of the event is to find shared
areas of interest and identify how we can work together. This includes, for
example, the organization of future events (WikiNEM next year, Wikimania
etc.), joint activities around GLAM, education, lobbying and volunteering.
All of WikiNEM will be organized as an “Open space”, a type of meeting
technique that generates highly intensive dialogue based on those who are
present. Please read this description of how an Open Space usually is
organized:

<https://www.mentimeter.com/blog/great-leadership/how-to-transform-your-meetings-with-open-space-technology>.
Please note that the topics for discussion is decided by the participants
at the event. It is important that the participants have time, interest and
ability to actively work to carry out joint projects / efforts /
collaborations after the event.How to nominate participantsI would kindly
like to ask the Board of each affiliate
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018/Participants>
to nominate no more than five (5) persons to attend the meeting. The
participant may be a member of the board or a very active volunteer. We
strongly encourage a selection that takes diversity into account as it
enriches the discussion. Make sure to add the user names of the nominated
participants on the event page on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018/Participants>
by Sunday 26 August 2018. The event organizing team will share registration
forms with the nominated participants, including scholarship options.
Please let me know if you have any questions!Thanks,John*
