[African Wikimedians] Introducing Let’s Connect to all Wikimedians

[Bukola James]

Dear Wikimedians,

We hope this message finds you well and that you are in good spirits. We
are the Let’s Connect working group
- a
team of movement contributors/organizers who are liaison representatives of 7/8
regions . We are
connecting with you to see if you are interested in and/or know about the
peer-to-peer program, Let’s Connect
!

The program creates an open and safe learning space for any Wikimedian who is
part of an organized group to share and learn different skills
(organizational/interpersonal / grant related / learning & evaluation ...)
with other peers to add value and contribute collectively to the community.
The purpose is to further develop skills, share knowledge and promote human
connections and mutual support between different groups and communities, in
alignment with the Movement Strategy
.

Every month, we host 2-3 live 2-hour learning clinics

with
interesting topics selected by our team and our interested sharers. Our
live learning sessions have up to 4 interpreters translating the clinic for
our participants. Our main languages are Spanish | Arabic | French |
Portuguese. If there is a specific language you would like to see in the
calls, we are happy to see how we can accommodate it.

Let’s Connect is directed at Wikimedians in all regions that are part of
organized groups (this can range from a group of individuals that are not
formally organized user groups, chapters and mission-aligned
organizations). Please see our Meta page for more criteria
.
To participate as a sharer, you can register in this initial registration
form

where
you can register your learning and sharing interests and state if you want
to share your knowledge through Learning Clinics.

Below, you will find our team of 8 who are excited to meet with you if you
are interested. Please email our team at letsconn...@wikimedia.org if you
have any questions :)

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

The Let’s Connect Working Group

[African Wikimedians] Re: CfA Wikimedian in Residence Webinar on Utilising the Pet Scan Tool

[Bukola James]

Hi Festus,

Thanks for your response.

We used a single form to avoid asking participants to register for every
session. Please kindly take a closer look at the 3rd paragraph of the
webinar description;

As part of its initiatives, Code for Africa is organising a free online
webinar. This webinar aims to equip Wikimedians with practical skills and
essential knowledge required to navigate and create engaging and
informative blog posts using the available tools and resources on Wikimedia
Diff, Eduwiki Newsletter portal, *Using PetsCan Tool*, and Citation Hunts
Tool.
Apply for the forthcoming Wikimedia in Residence (WiR) webinar coming up on
the 06 July 2023.

I hope this helps to clarify your doubt.

Thanks.

multilingual content.
