Dear all, I hope you are doing well. On behalf of Wiki Loves Women Team <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wiki_Loves_Women/Team>, I am pleased to announce the launch of the Wiki Loves Women Skills Focus Programme 2026 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wiki_Loves_Women/Skills_…> . Following the successful conclusion of the Wiki Loves Women Focus Group <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Focus_Group>, we are introducing this new initiative to provide community members with practical, hands-on skills that support their work within Wikimedia and Open Knowledge communities. The WLW Skills Focus Programme is a short, collaborative online training programme focused on learning through practice. Each edition is centered on a specific skill set and guides participants towards creating a tangible final output. For the 2026 edition, participants will explore audio storytelling and podcast production, learning how to develop, record, edit, and publish a podcast episode from start to finish.. To help interested participants learn more about the programme, the team will host an Office Hour on 15 June 2026 at 13:00 UTC. During this session, we will introduce the programme, explain the application process, and answer any questions from prospective participants. (Register here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Wiki_Loves_Women_Skills_Focus_Info_Se…> ) Applications are now open.
