Events
[edytuj | edytuj kod]
We have organized 3 live events for watching or discussing Wikimania. They have been organized in 3 cities, where the most active local communities are based:

- Poznań
Overall 27 people participated. To make the events accesible and inclusive we provided childcare during the events and funded transport for people with special needs.
Learnings
[edytuj | edytuj kod]- it is important that the process is simple and quick so that it is easy to participate
- for the first time we organized a longdistance (250 km) transport for a person with special needs, which helped us to work on processes for similar future cases and implement them for our future events
- combing an online event with local live events helped in brining the Wikimania festive atmosphere to our community!
