Hi Collab list,

I know it's been shared a few times on the education list, but wanted to make sure you see this opportunity. I think it's relevant from both a programs and a leadership perspective.

Cheers, Tighe

Hello education folks,

(Cross posting in case you haven't seen this announcement in other lists/channels yet!)

I wanted to bring your attention three conversations that are being organized by some colleagues at the foundation and around the movement during the month of March in honor of Women's History Month.

You may see some familiar names on the list of community presenters below :)

Details on the three conversations are below, including links with information on how to join virtually and sign up on wiki.

Best, Tighe

*Hi everyone, In honour of Women’s History Month, the Community Engagement department is hosting a series of conversations with community members about Women in the Wikimedia movement https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Women_in_the_Wikimedia_movement:_Conversations_with_communities, and what their experience is like contributing to our projects. Our conversations will focus on women within three strategic areas of our work: Programs, Technical Spaces, and Leadership positions. Each conversation will have two community members presenting on their work, and 15-20 minutes at the end for conversation, follow up questions, and discussion. The goal of these discussions is to foster understanding of challenges and inequalities that women face throughout our movement, and to engage with our communities to help better address them.These conversations will be online events, streamed on YouTube, and hosted on BlueJeans. If you would like to participate in these events, please add the event to your calendar, or sign up on wiki: - Women in Wikimedia programs: Thursday, March 8, 2018, 17:00 UTC (add to calendar https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NzNqdGxuNWttazNwMGZmOXRraG1rcXJ0b28gd2lraW1lZGlhLm9yZ184bXNrZXFjcmpmOXQ2cWJjMjllYml0bGs3Y0Bn&tmsrc=wikimedia.org_8mskeqcrjf9t6qbc29ebitlk7c%40group.calendar.google.com) (sign up on wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Women_in_the_Wikimedia_movement:_Conversations_with_communities#Women_in_Wikimedia_programs) Presenters: Monika Sengul-Jones (OCLC Wikipedian in Residence) and Luisina Ferrante (Wikimedia Argentina education coordinator). - Women in leadership: Wednesday, March 14, 2018, 19:00 UTC (add to calendar https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MGJqaXQzaTlmb3ZpMnJvaDc1ZGYxY29vb2ogd2lraW1lZGlhLm9yZ184bXNrZXFjcmpmOXQ2cWJjMjllYml0bGs3Y0Bn&tmsrc=wikimedia.org_8mskeqcrjf9t6qbc29ebitlk7c%40group.calendar.google.com) (sign up on wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Women_in_the_Wikimedia_movement:_Conversations_with_communities#Women_in_leadership) Presenters: Mervat Salman (Wiki Arabia 2015 organizer) and Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska (CEE Spring coordinator, and Polish Wikipedia sysop) - Women in technical spaces: Wednesday, March 21st, 15:00 UTC (add to calendar https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MzFqMWV2YXZlc3VrYjJsYTZscWxjbXRxZjcgd2lraW1lZGlhLm9yZ184bXNrZXFjcmpmOXQ2cWJjMjllYml0bGs3Y0Bn&tmsrc=wikimedia.org_8mskeqcrjf9t6qbc29ebitlk7c%40group.calendar.google.com) (sign up on wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Women_in_the_Wikimedia_movement:_Conversations_with_communities#Women_in_technical_spaces) Presenters: Josephine Lim (Mediawiki contributor) and Ciell (organizer of all-women hackathon in the Netherlands).If you find this conversation series interesting, I would greatly appreciate your support spreading the word.
