Thank you, Justice!
I would like to add, for the benefit of those who might not otherwise find it, that there is already a sizeable collection of video recordings and presentations from past Let's Connect learning clinics, and you can browse it here:

Dear Wikimedians,
We hope this message finds you well and that you are in good spirits. We are the Let’s Connect working group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect/Team- a team of movement contributors/organizers who are liaison representatives of 7/8 regions https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_regions. We are connecting with you to see if you are interested in and/or know about the peer-to-peer program, Let’s Connect https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect!
The program creates an open and safe learning space for any Wikimedian who is part of an organized group to share and learn different skills (organizational/interpersonal / grant related / learning & evaluation ...) with other peers to add value and contribute collectively to the community. The purpose is to further develop skills, share knowledge and promote human connections and mutual support between different groups and communities, in alignment with the Movement Strategy https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy.
Every month, we host 2-3 live 2-hour learning clinics https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect#Live_learning_clinics_with_%E2%80%9Chot_topic_of_the_month%E2%80%9D_and_around_proposal_and_reporting_cycles with interesting topics selected by our team and our interested sharers. Our live learning sessions have up to 4 interpreters translating the clinic for our participants. Our main languages are Spanish | Arabic | French | Portuguese. If there is a specific language you would like to see in the calls, we are happy to see how we can accommodate it.
Let’s Connect is directed at Wikimedians in all regions that are part of organized groups (this can range from a group of individuals that are not formally organized user groups, chapters and mission-aligned organizations). Please see our Meta page for more criteria https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect#Who_is_Let%E2%80%99s_Connect_for?. To participate as a sharer, you can register in this initial registration form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdiea87tSYmB2-1XHn_u8RLe7efMJifJBzffIM-6rtpx0PWqw/viewform where you can register your learning and sharing interests and state if you want to share your knowledge through Learning Clinics.
Below, you will find our team of 8 who are excited to meet with you if you are interested. Please email our team at letsconnect@wikimedia.org if you have any questions :)
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
The Let’s Connect Working Group
