Greetings from CIS-A2K,
It gives us great pleasure to inform that the Train-the-Trainer 2016
programme
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/20…>
organised by CIS-A2K is going to be held from 17-19 June, Bangalore.
Train-the-Trainer programme was conceptualised in order to bridge the gap
between wiki volunteers/enthusiasts who would like to conduct off reach
activities and have been discouraged due to non availability of resources
and support. The three day residential event will include presentations by
the participants regarding a plan to improve their wiki-projects, expert
sessions about conducting effective outreach activities, best practices
from the global wiki communities, revised grant structure of WMF,
activities to understand WMF strategy and vision, understanding global
metrics and coming up with a concrete plan by participants in association
with A2K to improve their wiki-projects.
A2K invites Wikimedians to apply for this programme. Participants will be
selected based on their on wiki and off wiki activities and their responses
to the questions asked in the Google form:

Hello Telugu Wikipedians,
On 15th May 2016 Sunday, we are going to have a meetup and Wiki-training
program at Theater outreach unit, Golden Threshold, Abids, Hyderabad at
10.30 AM. There we'll be discussing Wikipedia policies and guidelines and
Wikipedia editing in general. Please join the event.
As we got requests from Meena Gayathri to learn about Wikipedia translate
tool, Gullapalli Nageswara rao asked for one on one session about advanced
editing options, Viswanadh wanted to know about process of policy
discussions. And there are other requests from few other Wikipedians too.
Taking these into consideration we are planning series of activities.
CIS-A2K representative Tito Dutta will be in Hyderabad between 13 and 16
May. He'll participate in the meeting as a resource person. If you have
signed up for |Train-a-Wikipedian
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Train-a-Wikipedian>, we may
conduct training sessions in Hyderabad too between 13 and 16 May. If you
have not signed up for Train-a-Wikipedian still, consider signing up now
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Train-a-Wikipedian/Join>.
Thank you and looking positively to meet you soon.
Best Regards,
Pavan Santhosh.
