Hi everyone,
Join us for two online workshops supporting the Celebrate Women 2026
campaign <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Celebrate_Women>.
These sessions will teach you how to use Event Registration and Collaboration
List, and introduce you to Collaborative Contributions. You will learn how
these features can help you promote local activities, track participation,
and measure impact – all in one place on the wiki.
You will also gain hands-on experience using the Content Translation tool,
including article suggestions and translation features that support
multilingual participation and make campaign contributions more inclusive
and accessible.
Whether you are organizing your first Celebrate Women event or building on
past experience, these training programs are designed to inspire
confidence, strengthen collaboration, and help you take action.

Hello,
The Celebrate Women 2026
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Celebrate_Women> campaign is around
the corner!
Celebrate Women <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Celebrate_Women> is
a campaign that will run from March 1 to March 31. Every year, in
celebration of International Women’s Day, Wikimedia organizers use this
campaign to list gender-related events during March and as an opportunity
to advance the achievements of the women’s rights and gender equity
movement globally.
These events create opportunities to grow content about women and
non-binary people on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. Join us!
