SIP AND CHAT WITH THE WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION TRUSTEES

edit

Abstract/description

edit

In line with the theme of the ESEAP 2022 Conference (Reconnect) we would like to create an opportunity for certain Board members to meet and connect with ESEAP movement members who are involved in regional community activities including governance. As well as members who may have never heard of the Foundation or its Board of Trustees, across regions and languages. The proposed session aims to be informative, fun, interactive, and humanising.
