Introducing Let’s Connect to all Wikimedians - Wikimedia-l

20 Mar 2024


      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?.
