Dear Wikimedians,

The Movement Strategy and Governance Team is happy to announce that there will be another global conversations event on regional and thematic hubs on June 24, 25, and 26!

There is a lot happening around regional and thematic hubs with different research and planning projects. The event is intended to be a space for sharing and learning between those that are already working on establishing a hub in their context. Participants are invited to share their hub work experiences and learn from each other. Ideally, clear next steps can be mapped out for the future development of hubs.

Participants are also invited to discuss their hub piloting ideas. Some research and planning projects have been completed, which means that it is time to put some ideas into practice. Ideally, the event will help with mapping of considerations and concerns, to inform the future process.

The event will take place in 3 iterations in different time zones to enable participation across the movement. Anyone interested in hubs’ discussion can choose the time most fitting for them. The times of the meetings are following:

• Friday, June 24 - 11:00 - 13:00 UTC (in your time zone) with simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, French, and Spanish

• Saturday, June 25 - 16:00 - 18:00 UTC (in your time zone) with simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, French, Spanish, and Portuguese (tbc)

• Sunday, June 26 - 05:00 - 07:00 UTC (in your time zone) without interpretation

Registration for the event will start on June 10 and closes on June 23. The sessions will take place on Zoom, and will be facilitated and supported by Insightpact. You can find more information on the event on the event page on Meta. 

If you have any questions or comments, please contact the organizing team via strategy2030@wikimedia.org. 

Looking forward to a great conversation!
