Following the Global Council draft that was published three weeks ago, we
are happy to announce that the Hubs draft chapter
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content/Hubs> and the
Glossary <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content/Glossary>

governance process for hubs (which also includes an open question from the
committee), responsibilities, fundraising, and fund dissemination as it
relates to hubs and more.

Dear all,
We hope that you are doing well. We are happy to inform you that this
year CIS-A2K
is planning to reactivate its Train the Trainer
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program>
(TTT) initiative. This effort aims to empower Wikimedians with the
necessary skills to support their Wikimedia communities effectively.
Through this program, we aim to enhance the capacity of Wikimedians and
enable them to make a positive impact across the communities they serve.
Our ultimate goal is to empower Wikimedians to create a network of
knowledge sharing, identifying opportunities for growth and facilitating
Wikimedia communities to flourish.
The Train-the-Trainer (TTT) event has been held seven times between 2013 to
2020. This event is part of our effort to build community leaders and
contribute to a healthy and safe Wikimedia community. We are working on a
new model that aligns with the ongoing global discussions on leadership
development and aims to meet the specific needs of our Wikimedia
communities. The Kerala Wikimedians User Group will be the
co-host/co-organizer group for Train The Trainer 2023
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/20…>
(the page is under construction) which will be involved in the planning and
implementation of the initiative.
We invite Wikimedians to apply for scholarships to participate in Train the
Trainer 2023. The scholarship form is available here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRqLnCvFLehPI7QQMITtzd5WLqY1k3e9t…>.
The dates for submitting the scholarship form are 1 August to 14 August
2023. We encourage Wikimedians who are interested to contribute towards
their language communities to fill this form. Please note that individuals
who have already participated in an earlier iteration of TTT cannot apply
for the scholarship and their application will not be considered.
The event would be held by the end of September or the beginning of October
2023 (the days of the event will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The final
dates and venue will be announced soon.
We will be unable to consider applications from Wikimedians based outside
of India for TTT 2023 due to logistical and compliance-related issues.

or nitesh(a)cis-india.org.

Dear All,
We hope this email finds you well. You might already know that CIS-A2K is
conducting Indic Community Monthly Engagement Calls to boost collaboration
among Indic-language Wikimedia communities and provide a platform for
Indic-language Wikimedians to connect with individuals involved in various
initiatives.
The purpose of these calls is to bring the community together to discuss
and interact about important topics. We believe that by connecting
individuals from diverse backgrounds and projects, we can identify projects
that are relevant to other communities and leverage online platforms for
engagement.
Our first call was held on June 3, 2023, with the Let's Connect group. The
second call under this initiative is on July 14, 2023, we would like to
invite you to join us for our upcoming call about the Leadership
Development Working Group.
The Leadership Development Working Group has been actively working for over
a year and has updated its documentation on Meta. The group has also
gathered feedback from the broader community. This call will help promote
awareness and facilitate learning about the Leadership Development Plan
developed by the working group.
Details of the Indic Community Monthly Engagement Call:
The meta Page Link is here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Indic_Community_Monthly_Enga…>
Date: July 14, 2023
Time: 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Duration: 1 hour
During this call, we will have speakers who will share their experiences
and insights on leadership development plans specifically and leadership
development in the Wikimedia community generally. We encourage active
participation and interaction with the speakers to make this session more
fruitful.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to you joining us
for the India Community Monthly Engagement Call on 14 July 2023.
