Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce that the #SheSaid Campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/SheSaid/SheSaid_2026> will
be taking place again this year following the success of previous editions!
The campaign will run from *1 September to 31 December 2026*, and we are
excited to support communities around the world in organizing local
activities. If you are planning to apply for a grant to organize activities
as part of the campaign, now is the time to start preparing your
application.
*The grant application deadline is 1 July 2026*, so we encourage you to
begin the process as soon as possible.
To support applicants, we will host an *Office Hour* on *Tuesday, 16 June
2026, at 4:00 PM UTC*. During this session, Willy Buloso
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:WBuloso-WMF>, Senior Program Officer
for the Sub-Saharan Africa Region at the Wikimedia Foundation, will answer
your questions and share practical advice on preparing a strong grant
application for the #SheSaid Campaign.
We strongly encourage you to start drafting your application before
attending the Office Hour. This will help you identify any questions or
challenges you may have and allow you to make the most of the guidance
provided during the session. You can then finalize and submit your
application with greater confidence.

The WLW Skills Focus Programme is a short, collaborative online training
programme focused on learning through practice. Each edition is centered on
a specific skill set and guides participants towards creating a tangible
final output.
For the 2026 edition, participants will explore audio storytelling and
podcast production, learning how to develop, record, edit, and publish a
podcast episode from start to finish..
To help interested participants learn more about the programme, the team
will host an Office Hour on 15 June 2026 at 13:00 UTC. During this session,
we will introduce the programme, explain the application process, and
answer any questions from prospective participants. (Register here

Dear all,
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Women team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Portal>, I’m excited to
share an important update!
Due to technical issues reported during the campaign period that prevented
some participants from accessing and contributing, we have decided to
extend the ISA Tell Us About Her 2026 – Women in Sports campaign
<https://isa.toolforge.org/campaigns/447> until April 5th, 2026.
You now have 6 more days to add descriptions and take part in the campaign.
There are still 2 prizes to be awarded for the top 2 contributors, so the
race is still wide open. Everything can happen in 6 days… who knows?
Don’t miss this final chance to jump in!
Cheers,
Afek
Hello everyone,
There are only 6 days left until March 31st to participate in the ISA “Tell
Us About Her” 2026 campaign <https://isa.toolforge.org/campaigns/447>,
under the theme “Women in Sport.”
Don’t forget to take part in the campaign by adding and improving image
descriptions!
The ISA Tool is a fun, mobile-friendly way to tag and describe images on
Wikimedia Commons. Each description or tag helps improve visibility and
searchability across Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Special gifts will be awarded to the top two contributors, so don’t miss
the chance to participate!
Cheers!
