Hi everyone,

I hope you're looking forward to the weekend, I know I am! I'm Ziski from the Global Advocacy team at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm sharing an opportunity that might interest some of you:

📚 Apply to join the South-to-South AI Accountability CoLab’s Peer Learning Circles https://email.comms.luminategroup.com/c/eJyMkb3u2zAMxJ_G2hjog5blwUOXjH2FgqSoRKhjG7LcP5qnL4Kie5ebDoe7--Ullil4a3RxEybrbHRoNNde9-1HzYsw51IiQXROAEtkSH62UHJxaCdWN4_muYQw8kzFJdQRLZNVmsQrekyzMrKpi7d-tKMPDoN14YaeR6RIQjnJbN2AVvbX67yt16tu1PXR9uu4yf4y6_Ls_TiH8G3w98Hfj2ut_a1NdOvabnt7DP5-7ld_wl-lCiSyX1snrmvtv0H2lfiEQ7XBqtS2uj1AapNVzd4etNU3_Zuc2eYSicAWXwBZJ0iz9cAhJR-sD4LZtKUcV38PaL_qz_rSXOlTxJy65U9IFEX2JUBUioBzIUg2zMC5pKmgExYyp7aq58deshB_fqUkAZDUAYXgYApZxErxzGT68l2_zlV712b6_6H5tfg_AQAA__87zZgQ [1], where civil society leaders and researchers from the Global South can collaborate to examine AI’s real-world impacts and advocate for systems that serve the public interest. This includes close partners of ours such as Code4Africa.

- *Deadline to apply:* June 23 - *Course dates: *July 9 - 11, 2025.

The sessions are designed for organizations newly or previously engaged with AI accountability or public interest technologies. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and clarify their understanding of AI concepts from real-world examples, helping participants think more expansively about approaches to AI accountability.

Best, Ziski __ [1] https://pulitzercenter.org/south-south-ai-accountability-colabs-peer-learnin...
