Event Name

WikiIndaba Conference 2021

My Experiences

It was a great opportunity for me to connect with other experienced Wikimedians across Africa.

AirMeet: I joined the conference via mobile phone but Airmeet's restriction on some features made it a challenge for me to fully participate in all the sessions.

Sessions attended

1. Pre-conference Session
2. Wiki Loves Africa 2022
3. Building a Wikimedia Community in African Education.
4. Challenges for quality control in small Wikipedias
5. Online Security
6. WikiData4Education: Aligning the sum of knowledge with the school curricula

Connections made

I met quite a number of participants online and I am excited about it.

Learning points

One of the learning point for me is the online security consciousness.

Outcome

I am planning to organise session to talk about what i have learnt at the conference among my community.

Challenges and Recommendation

I missed some part of the conference due to the fact that some features of Airmeet is not mobile friendly.

The upload on YouTube was a good Initiative, kudos to the team.
