[Wikimedia-l] Call for Highlight Videos for WikiWomenCamp 2023

[Joy Agyepong]

Dear Community Members,


As we gear up for the upcoming WikiWomenCamp
 in India, we are
excited to announce a unique opportunity to share your incredible work and
its impact with the global community.

What We're Looking For:

We invite you to submit short (3-5 minute) videos highlighting your
projects, initiatives, or efforts that have made a significant difference
in addressing gender gaps. We know that many of you are doing remarkable
work in various corners of the world, and we want to shine a spotlight on
your achievements.

Why Short Videos:

Our camp sessions are extensive, covering a wide range of topics and
discussions. In the interest of time and with a commitment to showcasing
the amazing initiatives across our movement, we believe that short videos
are an effective way to capture and share the essence of your work.

How Your Videos Will Be Used:

The selected videos will be featured on our social media channels and
played during breaks at the camp. This provides an excellent opportunity
for you to showcase your work to a broader audience and inspire others to
get involved or collaborate with you.

Submission Guidelines:

   -

   Videos should be 3-5 minutes in length.
   -

   Please focus on the impact of your work, highlighting how it contributes
   to addressing the gender gap.
   -

   Be creative and engage in your presentation.
   -

   Ensure video quality is clear and audible.
   -

   Narration (optional): If possible, include a brief voiceover or text
   captions to provide context and explanation.
   -

   Language: While English is preferred for wider accessibility, videos in
   other languages are also welcome. Kindly ensure that non-English videos are
   accompanied by English subtitles or captions.


Submission Deadline:

To be considered for inclusion in our camp programming, please submit your
videos by Thursday, 28th September 2023. Late submissions may still be
featured later on our social media channels.

How to Submit:

To avoid any issues with file sizes, we recommend using a file transfer
service like WeTransfer  or Google Drive
 while sharing your videos with us at
ad...@wikiwomencamp.org. In your email, include a brief description of your
project, affiliate name / your name or username, and contact information.

We believe that your stories and experiences are powerful tools for change.
By sharing them with our community, you contribute to a collective effort
to bridge the gender gap and empower women and girls worldwide.

Thank you for being a part of the camp initiatives, and we look forward to
receiving your inspiring videos.

Warm regards,

WikiWomenCamp 2023 COT

[Wikimedia-l] Wiki Loves Folklore's 2021 Winners Officially Announced

[Joy Agyepong]

Dear Community Members,

We are pleased to officially share a great update on the 3rd edition of Wiki
Loves Folklore
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2021> [1].
Amidst the ongoing pandemic and its risks in attending in-person gatherings
for contributors and photographers across the globe, we were able to gather
over 7000+ submissions during this year's edition as announced here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2021/Winners>
 [2]

We extend a warm hand of appreciation to our international jury which was
made up of professional photographers and commons activists. The energy you
all exerted within the period is greatly valued.

Here's a blog post on Diff
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/10/03/join-us-celebrate-the-eureka-effects-of-the-3rd-edition-of-wiki-loves-folklore/>
[3]
detailing all the winner's alongside some experiences.

We thank you all for your support!!

Cheers,
Joy Agyepong
International Project Coordinator (WLF21)

 Hi everyone,

 Following up on my earlier thread about this, we are excited to
 announce a new collaboration between the Wikimedia Foundation and the World
 Health Organization (WHO). The collaboration will initially focus on
 releasing WHO content such as public-health related infographics, videos,
 and other COVID-19 resources under a free license (CC BY SA 3.0) to be
 shared on Wikimedia Commons. We are hopeful that these resources will be
 useful for volunteers writing about COVID-19 across language wikis and
 further expand access to knowledge about the pandemic to people around the
 world.

 You  can read more about the collaboration announcement in the press
 release we published earlier today [1], and see the first batch of content
 uploads from WHO on Wikimedia Commons [2]. If you want to help share the
 collaboration news on social media, please retweet the Foundation’s account
 [3] or share your own post using this toolkit [4].

 I want to give a major thank you and shout out to the volunteers
 (including Doc James, Dr. Netha Hussain, John Cummings, and many others)
 who have been moving these conversations with WHO forward for years, as
 well as to the many Wikimedians providing accurate and relevant coverage of
 COVID-19 on the projects that this collaboration hopes to support. We are
 so excited to finally reach this milestone with WHO.

 In the coming months, Alex Stinson, from our Community Programs team,
 will be working with volunteers to continue sharing details of the WHO
 content available on Commons and collaborating with volunteers to
 understand how WHO resources might help address information needs and gaps
 about COVID-19 on the projects. We need your help identifying the most
 useful content. Please join us on the project page on Commons to request
 WHO materials, and ask questions or give feedback on the project [5].

 We are excited to celebrate this important achievement in making more
 knowledge about COVID-19 freely available to everyone in such a critical
 time in the world. Thank you to all who made this possible!

 Feel free to reach out on this thread or to Alex and I directly in case
 you have further questions about this collaboration.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Launch of Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal

[Joy Agyepong]

Hello Dumi,

Thanks for the update and teams efforts on this initiative. I have taken a
tour on the portal and it looks really simplified and easy to navigate.
However, I will be on standby for the training session.
