[African Wikimedians] EA Wikimedians in Kenya for DRIFF

[Winnie Kabintie]

Dear African Wikimedians,


A few Wikimedians representing affiliates in the East Africa region; Kenya,
Uganda, South Sudan and Botswana will be participating at the Digital
Rights & Inclusion Forum <https://drif.paradigmhq.org/>in Nairobi, Kenya
from April 12-14.


The Wikimedia Foundation is supporting the conference, which is hosted by
Paradigm Initiative, and it is the first time that Wikimedians from the
region will be participating to talk about the work they do and network.


It’s exciting to see Wikimedians getting visible in spaces beyond the
wikisphere to amplify the amazing work we all do to advance free knowledge
and we are making efforts to create more of these spaces.


You can watch all the sessions  remotely
<https://www.youtube.com/@ParadigmHQ>! Details below.
