Hi Anna,
Lovely to hear from you always, I hope Big Fat Brussels went well. It would be great to get an update to this list!
Regarding the conference in Chile, I recommend contacting both Patricia and Catalina. They're both on this mailing list so they might correct me!
Cheers, Ziski

Hi Ziski, long time no see :) a quick question: who is the person to talk to about the participation in the event: Catalina, or Patricia Díaz Rubio? We have some resources to support people's travel if from Europe and I would love to coordinate on that with the organisers.
Warmly, Anna

🎉 Congratulations again to the Wikimedia Chile team for driving forward such an ambitious and important plan.
I stand by what I said - this conference will be an important way to build on the steps that affiliates and the Foundation have taken to coordinate public policy advocacy efforts. Very much looking forward to seeing this come to fruition!
All my best,
Ziski

Dear all,
I hope this message finds you well.
As indicated in our recent Diff announcement (see below), we are excited to share news about the inaugural global Wiki Advocacy meet-up, a gathering designed for Wikimedians actively involved in advocacy and public policy initiatives to share, learn and discuss common challenges. This event aims to promote and safeguard the Wikimedia model, emphasizing its crucial role in ensuring access to relevant online information. Leveraging the upcoming UNESCO World Press Freedom Day, scheduled to be hosted in Chile in May next year, Wikimedia Chile is honored to organize this gathering which will take place as a side event of UNESCO's conference on *May 3rd and 4th, 2024*, in Santiago, Chile.
Given the specialized nature of this topic and the hands-on approach we intend to have, we will have limited availability of seats for the event. Consequently, we extend a cordial invitation to you to participate.

To further facilitate participation, we are pleased to announce the availability of *20 full scholarships for Wikimedia representatives* and 5 partial scholarships for participants hailing from beyond the Wikimedia movement.

*About the meeting*
The ongoing changes in regulations concerning the Internet will continue to affect Wikimedia projects. This first Global Wiki Advocacy Meeting aims to underscore the increasingly crucial role of Wikimedia affiliates in shaping public policy and supporting free access to knowledge in digital enviroments.
Between September and October 2023, Wikimedia Chile circulated a Conference Engagement Survey http://diff.wikimedia.org?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=184ef53c472d1aa483220c5bc1c886db8942d5dc16661f16414889a2f39d79ed&blog_id=175527200&post_id=109583&user_id=0&subs_id=559540389&signature=5bcf707f669987aeb522828dc1d5dd0f&email_name=new-post&user_email=catalina.frigerio@wikimediachile.cl&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9kaWZmLndpa2ltZWRpYS5vcmcvMjAyMy8wOC8yMy91bmVzY28td29ybGQtcHJlc3MtZnJlZWRvbS1kYXktMjAyNC1oZWxwLXVzLWJ1aWxkLWEtcm9hZG1hcC1mb3ItYW4tYWR2b2NhY3ktYW5kLXB1YmxpYy1wb2xpY3ktZ2F0aGVyaW5nLWZvci10aGUtZ2xvYmFsLXdpa2ltZWRpYS1jb21tdW5pdHkvamong the Wikimedia community, which was answered by *more than 100 people around the world.* Based on those responses, the main objectives of this meeting are:
· identify strategies and tactics to face the challenges posed by Internet regulatory developments that have been identified as relevant around the world for the Wikimedia movement.
· improving advocacy capacity building and knowledge sharing among Wikimedians.
· Strengthen the network of Wikimedians interested in advocacy and public policies.
These topics and conversations will be conducted hosted by Wikimedia Chile with the support of the WMF Global Advocacy Team.
“The people who lead these projects are best placed to advocate for the needs of the Wikimedia community in their own countries and to partner with the Foundation to promote *Wikimedia’s unique vision of a public interest-focused Internet where decentralized community-led governance and content moderation models can thrive*. The Chile workshop is an important step in coordinating the public policy advocacy work of affiliates and the Foundation", said Franziska ("Ziski") Putz, Senior Movement Advocacy Manager in the Wikimedia Foundation. *Learn more*
