Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2023/Submissions/Wikification of Wikimedia Events Organizing

ID : 60	Wikification of Wikimedia Events Organizing
Author(s): Z. Blace		Username(s): Zblace	Type of submission: Workshop
		Affiliation: Wikimedia LGBT+, WM CEE Spring UG	Theme(s): Community Engagement, Events
Abstract: This is a call for a workshop discussion on what we can do better to align our values and practices from Wikis into practice of Wikimedia event organizing (in-post-pandemic) and how we can support better people who are less mobile, less addressed and less likely to join Wikimedia events. I bring experience of over 23 years of working in media culture, most often as event organizer of both content and practicalities. Recently I did first LGBT+ bilingual, hybrid and trans-local event QW2023 and I have fresh observations in what is still to be done to make this work not just informative but inspirational.

How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of CEE? Potential application to upcoming events in CEE in 2024 like Wikimania, Summit, WM CEE Meeting 2024 (with CEE Hub support), Hackathons as well as other events...
