Gap years that challenges force the user groups to experience them. (A panel with cases and discussions)
Donia Domiaty, User:دنيا, Martin Hipangwa, Ibrahim Elaidy, Candy Khohliwe, Ali Khaleel

Not all user groups always succeed in sustaining their progression. And that may be because of inner or outer challenges that hinder the group activity. In this session I will try to collect many examples of UGs that experienced some years of lagging in activities because I have experienced mine and I know how it takes UG volunteers time and efforts to overcome all these challenges and activate again.

Older Vs Younger generations, How the generation gap can affect the work on Wikimedia Projects?
Donia Domiaty, User:دنيا, Ali Khaleel

Effective communication is key to prevent conflicts, crucial in collaborative platforms like Wikimedia, where documenting conflicts can guide efforts to improve collaboration. We have noticed the importance of this topic through our conversations with the Arabic Wikimedians Community that led us to diagnose the gap happening between different generations.
We aim to collect more qualitative and quantitative data regarding this matter to include the outcomes in our presentation.
