Hi everyone,
In honour of Women’s History Month, the Community Engagement department is
hosting a series of conversations with community members about Women in the
Wikimedia movement
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Women_in_the_Wikimedia…>,
and what their experience is like contributing to our projects.
Our conversations will focus on women within three strategic areas of our
work: Programs, Technical Spaces, and Leadership positions. Each
conversation will have two community members presenting on their work, and
15-20 minutes at the end for conversation, follow up questions, and
discussion. The goal of these discussions is to foster understanding of
challenges and inequalities that women face throughout our movement, and to
engage with our communities to help better address them.
These conversations will be online events, streamed on YouTube, and hosted
on BlueJeans. If you would like to participate in these events, please add
the event to your calendar, or sign up on wiki:
