Join us for 40 minutes of fun questions and interactions.
Why? Because, sometimes we just want to relax and get to know people, as people. Sometimes this is hard in such a a big conference. We also came for a laugh. And who knows, this brief and spontaneous interaction with others may lead to more connections in the Wikimedia Movement.

Join us for a workshop designed to help Wikimedians manage challenging conversations online and offline. We’ll explore Non-Violent Communication techniques and the importance of cultural awareness in preventing misunderstandings and conflict. Building on last year’s Wikimania Singapore, this hands-on session will use updated resources and a case study to enhance your communication skills. Don’t miss this chance to improve collaboration and foster a more inclusive Wikimedia community.

The Wikimedia movement relies on volunteers. Not only is it a hard task to increase the number of new volunteers, it is an even bigger challenge to keep those volunteers involved.
This interactive workshop is dedicated to understanding volunteer profiles based on motivations, how we match these to different types of volunteering activities, and how to make sure we support volunteers so they are not demotivated.

This workshop is co-led by the Let’s Connect Peer Learning program and the Capacity Exchange project (CapX).
Do you want to be more connected to peers in other regions to learn form them, but also to share your skills? If you are interested in knowing more about how these tools work and gaining some key tips to be part of peer exchanges in the Movement this workshop is for you!
