Hi Everyone,
The Wikimedia Youth Conference 2023 scheduled to be held in Spain in September will be the first youth conference in the movement.
The conference grant team is eager to provide all relevant support in order to ensure that the conference is successful. But in order to do this, more time other than what is available will be needed. Therefore, they did recommend that the conference be moved to 2024 in order to avail more time to work on addressing relevant needs where possible.
We are therefore advised to keep our preparations still going. We also understand that we could use this additional time to strategize more on the conference planning.
We know that we had made a call for the conference subcommittees. We will reach out to the selected applicants to explain how the engagement could look like given this circumstance.
Beyond that, we will still be working on the conference design and planning. We hope to keep you informed of all the updates as they come.
We are happy to answer any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
James Popoola

This is the same conference as mentioned in the last email awhile ago, right? If it is, I think it's important to mention that the age group is 18 to 35, unless that's changed. As I said at the time, my past self (I was 16 when I started editing) would've been surprised and disappointed that a conference specifically aimed at youths didn't include me but did include people much older.

For people who don't follow the list as often as I do, it's this https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/... thread I was vaguely remembering. I thought I might've been too old at 20 to actually attend the conference.

Anyways, I forgot to do the survey last time. If you're still looking for participants, I'd consider it.
