This was my overall best session. The session touched on how fiscal sponsorship works, what makes it run well, an what doesn't work.

  • Education and Partnership

This session touched on the importance of Wikipedia in the classroom and empowering teachers and students with 21st-century skills

The opening ceremony was very welcoming and I felt like I was truly a part of it as it was very very diverse.

How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?

I was a volunteer help desk operator and I got to meet different people from all over the world that needed clarity/help on somethings or to do something, and I was happy I could be of help and be more than a participant. While I was not on duty as a Help Desk volunteer, I got to take on new perspectives from other people who participated in the talk. which enabled me to gather different ideas from various schools of thought.
