(Feel free to add point to the agenda if you have anything on your mind!)
See you soon!
Thanks for sharing this on the list, Daryna! Looking forward to seeing you there.
Going through the programm for Wikimania next week in Poland, I think these are sessions that may be of interest for those working on Wiki Loves photo competitions (times in UTC+2 = Katowice timezone).
- Preserving Stories, Preserving Identity: Wiki Loves Folklore Unveiled https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/CFUQSC/; presentation Wednesday 07-08, 10:00–10:25; streaming available; Tbilisi room Through Wiki Loves Folklore, we embark on a journey of discovery, venturing into the heart of communities to document festivals, rituals, traditional crafts, and oral histories. Each photograph becomes a testament to the resilience of cultural heritage, preserving moments that might otherwise slip into obscurity. But beyond the images themselves lies a deeper narrative—a narrative of collaboration, community, and the profound impact of grassroots initiatives. - International wiki photo competitions and armed conflict: if and how https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/EVGAQM/; round table discussion Thursday 08-08, 16:15–16:55; streaming available; Belgrade room This is a round-table conversation to discuss possible guidelines around if and how to include countries and regions involved in geopolitical armed conflict. - How can we do content campaigns better? https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/WXWZAU/; presentation & exchange Saturday 10-08, 11:15–11:55; streaming and interpretation available; Lviv room Content campaigns, such as article contests on Wikipedia or “Wiki Loves” photos contests, are a great way to close content gaps and drive new contributors. Yet, they also have pitfalls – doing too many contests can overwhelm the local community, and it’s hard to keep high quality standards at scale. In this session I’ll share Wikimedia Ukraine’s experience and reflect on where we come short, as well as invite participants to share theirs. - The Helpdesk at the Content Partnerships Hub – Wikimedians providing hands-on support to each other https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/JY33NR/; presentation/showcase Saturday 10-08,14:00–14:25; streaming and interpretation available; Lviv room We propose a session focusing on developing the next steps of the Helpdesk of the Content Partnerships Hub – with a focus on how it can improve capacity building in the GLAMwiki space. Through the Helpdesk you can request support for your content partnerships and through the working groups you can share your expertise by jointly responding to the many requests posted for the Helpdesk.

Thanks, Ciell, for suggesting additional sessions of interest!
I can add that there also will be a session with posters (and we do have some Wiki Loves X posters there):
Poster session, Friday, August 09, from 17:45–19:00 (Poland), Gdańsk Main Hall (streaming + interpretation)
I would be also presenting a lightning talk on Wiki Loves Monuments as a way to document destroyed cultural heritage on Friday, in case people on the list are interested.
Regarding the round table on International wiki photo competitions and armed conflict: if and how, which is of utmost relevance for the Ukrainian community, so I would be very curious to find out who will be a part of the discussion, as there is only one speaker mentioned there, but as it is hosted by the international Wiki Loves Monuments team, I think we can expect to receive more information in the coming days?
Please share any other relevant sessions here, this will be my first Wikimania, and I would like to get the most out of it!
Hi Daryna,
Thanks for the additional suggestions!
The round table will be hosted by Effeietsanders, who is one of the founders of Wiki Loves Monuments from back in 2010 and currently serves as advisor to the international team. The round table is a continuation of the WLM office hour https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2023/Office_hour we had on the same topic earlier this year (see also here https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikilovesmonuments@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/ZWCOBSEM4HXWQAUYLRL7SPB4W33JF47Z/ for a previous exchange on this email list after introducing the topic). I will be there as well, and would be thankful to have a wide representation of WLM organizers at the table to hear your thoughts and considerations. I will leave it to Effeietsanders to more exactly frame the conversation we will be having in Katowice next week.
Wikimania in my opinion is a great event to connect, and learn, and... have fun! For me personally, it happens very rarely that I am 'wikied out', but these 5 days of our global conference actually do the trick. If you are in a hotel with other Wikimedians, expect to be talking Wiki from the moment you leave your room for breakfast (you will already run into other Wikimedians in the elevator), until your last drink of the day before you retire for a bit of rest. I ❤️ it.
Best, Ciell
