Dear All,
Women Wikimedians are happy to express their intent as they plan towards having a focused Train-the-Trainer program this year for female community leaders within the Wikimedia movement. A 2-day residential training program to nurture leadership amongst the leading women contributors from different Indian language Wikimedia projects. A program where not only women community members are the participants but also they host it from logistics, finance, resource, trainers, communications etc.
This is a separate program and not to be confused with the annual Train-the-Trainer program hosted by Access to Knowledge Team. Access to Knowledge Team would be the funding affiliates for this program and it would be grateful to receive their advice and suggestions from time to time along with other affiliates and community members, however, the program would be put up in collaboration with women community members only. The idea is to develop leadership in each and every aspect of community work, so that, in the future, there is equity and also diversity when community undertakes activities.
Recognizing this to be a distinct and new approach, it is a priority to be extra careful in making the judicious use of public money. Having said so, we wish to host this program in the National Capital Region, New Delhi as the city offers larger travel connectivity and stay options. We wish to host this program on the weekend following The Women's Day on Friday, 8th March. Also, happy to share that besides #Wiki4Women edit-a-thon at UNESCO Head Office in Paris, Delhi Office has also shared their intent in hosting the same. All scholarship recipients for the Women's TTT could, in turn, be the representatives of "Wikimedians of India" at the UNESCO workshop and also be the resource persons.
To make this initiative a success, direction from all of you is the key! Please feel free to suggest. *Also please find the link to submit your interest to be a part of the event (Women only). Due to the shortage of time, the time limit to fill the form is 5 days i.e. till 8 February 2019 (23:59 p.m. IST).*
