Hello everyone,
As we approach the end of our 2026 workshop series, we are bringing the
year to a close with a topic that concerns every Wikimedia space we create
and participate in: how we make those spaces safer and more inclusive.
For the final EduWiki workshop of 2026, the *EduWiki Hub
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/EduWiki_…>*,
*Volunteer Supporters Network (VSN)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_Supporters_Network>* and *Universal
Code of Conduct team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>*
will come together for:
*Creating Safer and More Inclusive Wikimedia Spaces: Understanding and
Applying the Universal Code of Conduct*
This two-hour interactive session will use practical examples, scenarios
and discussion to explore how the Universal Code of Conduct applies to
Wikimedia education, volunteer support and community activities.
Participants will have the opportunity to practise responding to situations
involving potentially problematic behaviour, learn about reporting and
escalation options, and consider how local and cultural contexts can shape
the way behavioural principles are understood and applied.
*Date: 15 October 2026*
*Time: 12:00–14:00 UTC*
*Location: Online (Zoom)*
*Register:* https://w.wiki/VmAW
We hope you can join us for the final EduWiki workshop of the year.

Dear All - please consider joining us for the second colloquium in the
Wikimedia STRENGTHEN Colloquium Series!
👉 Register and learn more:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:STRENGTHEN2
After introducing the basics of external grantmaking in our first session,
we’re moving into one of the most practical parts of the process: finding
funding opportunities that actually fit your work.
STRENGTHEN Colloquium #2: Finding Opportunities and Mapping Strategic
Outcomes
📅 October 2, 2026
⏰ 2:00–3:30 p.m. UTC
💻 Online
In this session, we’ll focus on:
🔎 Strategies for finding relevant external funding opportunities
🗝️ Developing keywords that make funding searches more productive
🎯 Matching Wikimedia projects with funders’ missions and priorities
📈 Connecting project ideas to strategic outcomes that matter to funders
🗂️ Building a personalized prospect list of potential funders
The goal is practical: leave with a clearer strategy for finding funding
and a starting list of potential funders to pursue.
This is the second session in our 9-part STRENGTHEN colloquium series,
which is designed to move participants step-by-step through the external
grantmaking process, from developing project ideas and identifying
opportunities to building partnerships, writing proposals, and managing
grants.
Whether you're working with a Wikimedia affiliate, developing a research or
education project, organizing in your local community, or simply curious
about funding possibilities beyond the Wikimedia Foundation, we'd love to
have you join us.

your experience directly with the project team*.
