Wikidata 10th Birthday
by Lewis Cawte 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone knew of any UK-based Wikidata 10th birthday events happening next weekend? Doesn't look like the chapter currently has any (public) plans to do anything - is there much Wikidata interest in the chapter's sphere of influence? -- [[User:Lcawte|Lewis Cawte]]

Hi all I'm delighted to share with you all that we have recently hired our first-ever residency for climate. Tatjana Baleta has been recruited as Wikimedia Visiting Fellow at the University of Exeter, within the Global Systems Institute (GSI) academic community. Tatjana will work alongside several world-leading climate scientists, including those at the UK Met Office with whom the GSI has a strategic partnership. She will also be amongst researchers from other disciplines who are looking into climate impacts, climate justice, biodiversity and energy. There's an announcement blog <https://wikimedia.org.uk/2022/10/new-partnership-delivers-wikimedia-uks-fir…> with more details, including a quote from Femke Nijsse who was essential in helping us form this partnership. There's also a blog <https://wikimedia.org.uk/2022/10/welcome-tatjana-baleta-wikimedia-visiting-…> written by Tatjana about her background in climate communications and conservation. It's very exciting to have a dedicated staff member for our newest strategic pillar, and I'm sure you'll all join us in welcoming her.

Good afternoon all, Wikimedia UK will be delivering the next *Train the Trainer (TtT) course* on *1st, 3rd and 4th of December*. TtT trains volunteers who are keen to deliver Wikipedia editing events and other Wikimedia free knowledge projects. The course will have two modules: *‘Introduction to Wikipedia’* and *'Developing Community Partnerships'*. We are expecting expressions of interest from candidate trainers for both sessions, and from accredited trainers for the second one. We hope this will prove to be a good skills development and networking opportunity for our volunteer trainers. You can find further details at on our website <https://wikimedia.org.uk/2022/10/train-the-trainer-2022-23-call-for-interes…>. Please share this opportunity with your networks and encourage applications. Places are limited to make sure that each participant gets individual attention and feedback. The call for interest will close on *the 28th of October*. We aim to get back to the applicants by the 4th of November. I'm also sharing the application forms below for convenience: Candidate trainers application form <https://forms.gle/4fovYD4xPyVVswkm9> Accredited trainers application form <https://forms.gle/vXn8pTpTT15iJgbQ8> Best wishes, Esma Gjertsen (she/her) Volunteer Coordinator *Part-time: Th, F* *Volunteer with us <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdO877I33NCW5APmS0ZOLE_bdyaezdRxnl…>* <https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/> <https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/> <https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/> *Wikimedia UK* <https://wikimedia.org.uk/> is the national chapter for the global Wikimedia open knowledge movement.
