Org:Regional Learning Sessions with grantees and Regional Funds Committees
The Community Resources team and the Let's Connect program is organising 7 regional learning sessions with grantee partners and Regional Fund Committee members to come together to reflect on data about grantees' intended impact and collective challenges.
| Description | For this reason, the Community Resources team and the Let's Connect program is organising 7 regional learning sessions with grantee partners and Regional Fund Committee members to come together to reflect on data about grantees' intended impact and collective challenges.
What will happen in the session? In this 2h session, the Community Resources team will initially share some insights to start off the peer discussion. The session will be mostly interactive, with grantees and Regional Fund Committee members analysing key points. Expected outcomes: Draw some conclusions around these insights and any practical actions that can be taken in future work. Identify future learning spaces and data that would be valuable. Greater interaction between grantees and Regional Funds Committees to know more about each others' work, fostering partnership and trust. We hope it will lead to participants proposing future learning spaces to continuously reflect, not only on a regional basis but also across regions around common themes or initiatives that are being funded by Wikimedia Funds. |
