Tomorrow we will host another event in the series "Women in the Wikimedia movement https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCommunity_Engagement%2FWomen_in_the_Wikimedia_movement%3A_Conversations_with_communities&sa=D&ust=1552923737859000&usg=AFQjCNHX-sI9RAbhHr_vmYFBo27YBk-CfQ", the first one in 2019.

The theme, "Balance for better", is inspired by this year's International Women's Day global campaign theme. This virtual event will focus on empowering women through training and capacity development. We will host a panel of women from across the movement who are dedicating efforts to training other women to become contributors or organizers in the Wikimedia movement.

*Panelists:*

- Manavpreet Kaur, co-founder of Punjabi Wikimedians User Group, organizer of the first women training for Punjabi Wikimedians. - Mariana Fossati, Wikimedia Uruguay member, co-leads campaign Visible WikiWomen - Natacha Rault, member of Wikimedia France, founder of project Les sans pagEs

After learning from their experiences, we will dive into a conversation about why this work matters, common challenges and how we can best support each other.

Join us to learn, ask questions and be inspired!
