Hello everyone!
While this is a bit of an off-topic, I've seen several of you sharing
projects on cultural heritage, climate change & openness, so I thought I
might share this here:
We're excited to launch the Open Climate Fellowship program!
Open Climate is looking for 7 fellows interested in working on
intersections between open technology projects and the climate crisis.
Fellows should be interested in connecting with new people working with
open technologies and/or climate and environmental justice, & coordinating
with our team to put ideas, projects and partnerships out into the
world. Applications
are due December 11th. More at: https://open-climate.org/fellowship/
<https://open-climate.org/fellowship/?fbclid=IwAR120c4d-nEjVQW2vFI8Q4nu0Vzcc…>
On Dec. 6, at 3 PM UTC, we will be holding a webinar to answer questions
from interested applicants and help them develop their fellowship idea:

Hello,
You’re the first to know that MozFest is officially accepting session ideas
for our 2023 festival, through December 16, and the earlier you submit your
idea, the better! You can learn more about the Call for Session Proposals
process or submit your idea here
<https://www.mozillafestival.org/en/proposals/?utm_source=ambassador&utm_med…>
.
2023 MozFest Spaces
Now that the Call for Proposals is open, I’m also thrilled to share this
year’s Spaces. Think of Spaces at MozFest as mini-festivals. Within each
Space, participants can find everything they need – interactive,
community-led sessions, inspiring talks, art installations, lots of coffee,
and community – all within a common theme. If you choose to submit a
session proposal, you’ll need to decide on a Space in which to submit it.

Dear All,
I am working on the first preparations for an EU funding. As a working group
in Austria and a partnership with an Estonian enterprise and an Austrian
University of Applied Sciences we are looking for a partner from the
archival sector and NOT based in Austria.
Just for now: we developed a project for schools using the Data Spaces of
Cultural Heritage for agile project management in schools (Children of age
of 14-18) and we need an Archive to implement it, which can continue the
project after der funding.
Anyone who is interested please contact me directly to sort out a
partnership.
Thank you,
Sylvia

Dear All - I am interested in practice driven European
Wikimedia+Culture/GLAM projects that were or could be easily documented for
the purpose of EU focused funding of GLAM and culture work for exchanges,
coordination and collaboration.
My urgency is finding at least 2 examples that could be (Europeana or
similar platform) linked with Wikimedia to check possibilities for
implementation in Croatia.
If you have much to share please let me know directly or even better share
with all on chat channel
