Hi Wikimedians,
I hope that you are in good spirits. My name is Bukola James https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Bukky658 and I am a part of the Let’s Connect working group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect/Team - a team of movement contributors/organizers and liaisons from 7 regions: MENA | South Asia | East, South East Asia, Pacific | Sub-Saharan Africa | Central & Eastern Europe | Northern & Western | Latina America.
Why are we outreaching to you?
Wikimedia https://www.wikimedia.org/ has 18 projects, and 17 that are solely run by the community, other than the Wikimedia Foundation. We want to hear from sister projects that some of us in the movement are not too familiar with and would like to know more about. We always want to hear from Wikipedia, but we also want to meet and hear from the community members in other sister projects https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page/en-gb too. We would like to hear your story and learn about the work you and your community do. You can review our past learning clinics here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect/Calendar.
We want to invite community members who are:
-
Part of an organized group, official or not -
A formally recognized affiliate or not -
An individual who will bring their knowledge back to their community -
An individual who wants to train others in their community on the learnings they received from the learning clinics.

Once you have registered, if you are interested, you can get to know the team via Google Meet or Zoom to brainstorm an idea for a potential learning clinic about WikiTech or just say hello and meet the team. Please email us at letsconnect@wikimedia.org .
We look forward to hearing from you :)
Best,
Bukola James,
