 Hi Alice and Phyllis can you please say something that means sure we can hear you this is Alex. Can you hear me? We can feel it here. Great. Perfect. So yeah, please, please go ahead. Thank you. Hi everyone. Sorry for the slight delay and I'm so glad to have you in the room. We saw there are a few people in there and I hope you enjoy our presentation. I'm Alex and I'm a lead program strategist of the Wikimedia Foundation, and I'm coming to you from Uruguay where we are having thunderstorms in the middle of the night. And over to you Phyllis. Hello everybody. My name is Felix Mati and I am a senior program officer with the campaigns team and community growth at the Wikimedia Foundation. I am coming from, I'm coming to you from Singapore, so I'm right here in Singapore. And we're so glad to be able to share some lessons that we have from the organizer lab which was an experimental program we ran this last year. We're both on the campaigns team at the Wikimedia Foundation and we've been asking ourselves like what is the thing that is most useful for us to do beyond one on one advising and writing like documentation and supporting specific projects. And this last year we tried something which was a class. We called it the organizer lab. And we wanted to share with you some lessons from that. So I'm going to let Felix start a little bit with the background on the lab and then we'll talk a little bit more about the specifics and at the end, we'd like you to give us some feedback. I'm going to find my way into that late so that you can also leave stuff in the chat or you can talk in the room. Yeah, thank you very much, Alex. And thank you for everybody joining our session today. We're very excited, like Alex said, to share some of the early lessons from this project. Just to give you a little bit of a background and to add to what Alex said. Over the years, the campaigns team has been supporting movement organizers in organizing campaigns across the movement and we have been doing this on a one on one basis. It's been very difficult over the years. So we were thinking of an opportunity to scale and an opportunity to train people to move from being local organizers to global organizers that could organize campaigns within the movement and the organizer lab was the thing that came to mind. Now, I think somewhere around last year, around this time, you would have heard an announcement for the organizer lab. So we run the fair situation of the project. It was a beta vision, most likely an opportunity to experiment and to learn and we did that successfully from last year to mid of this year and we are here to share the results of what we've learned. Next slide, Alex. So why did we run the organizer lab. We were the time where we wanted to do very, we wanted to do more with little. The team had been doing, like I did serial training people and coaching people and providing documentation that help people run campaigns one on one. And we thought it was opportune as at the time when the movement strategy was also prioritizing the list of things to do and I think these were the two things that sort of like a spadas and motivated us to really think outside of box and to do something that would help the organization in the movement. So we based the organizer lab solely on this to prioritize areas which was investing skills and leadership development and identify topics for everyone. As you may have noticed over the years, topic for impact organizing has become a thing you would have heard of the gender organizing you would have heard of activities like the gender gap you would have also heard of activities like which is for human rights and these are all targeted at certain political areas that were of global concern. And so for us, it was very right that the movement strategy was moving in that direction and we pivoted on these two to actually create the organizer lab. Next slide. So the kinds of people that we were looking out for for the organizer lab where people that were local organizers people that had experienced in organizing some kind of event, who wanted to organize beyond just their local balance and wanted to do something beyond the shores of their countries. And so we looked out for medium experience organizers, and they were the main target for our first cohort. We did also bring in some newbie organizers who had had some level of experiencing and and also experiencing around organizing and also some level of understanding of how the Wikimedia ecosystem work based on like the editing background and also being in the movement for a while. So these are the mixture of people that we actually took in the course. The hopes was that we would be able to up skill this people to be able to organize campaigns that reached the masses within the Wikimedia movement. So we took these people in into a program that was 10 week and it was very intensive. It was I think it was week on week and now that was one of the things that we got from people that was very packed, right, but it was packed because there was a lot to share also with these people. And so we run a 10 week intensive course with them focused on climate and sustainability for the first situation. And there were five live sessions that happened in these live sessions were sessions that we actually brought subject matter experts to speak to the cohort participants to learn beyond just the content that we're reading but also have practical sense of what was being taught through the course and the documents that we're reading. We also had this organizer lab hinged on what we all know how to do best as Wikimedia which was peer to peer counseling and support. We pivoted the program format around this so that people will still have that similar experience within the organizer lab and so there was that peer to peer learning, paired with diet feedback. So people being able to give feedback to their own colleagues in the course and then we also being able to interact and give feedback on how they were doing in the course was very important and that's one of the formats that we adopted for this. In the first iteration of this we run this in only English. We did so because at the time this was what our capacity could take, but we have been thinking about opportunities to have skills and I think we'll talk more about this as we go forward so next slide. I think this Alex like Alex over to you. So as we've been observing throughout my campaign organizing experience there are a few particular sets of skills that organize when we did one on one mentoring with organizers to say run campaigns or do a partnership. We often had to work with it to kind of hone and refine and kind of teach in these one on one settings and we wanted to make this into something that anyone could learn from and really benefit from. And these three kind of broad areas of work are identifying topics to impact designing creative audience based events and campaigns and making the best use of what the community movement has to offer in order to run these activities I'll go into a little bit more detail with those things included but just think now and your experience as say organizers and local affiliates or communities. You often have the people who are very good at running local events and they're learning a lot of things they're learning how to edit they're learning how to teach editing they know how to run events. Right, but the folks who really kind of scale up and provide the meta organizing experience that the more experienced folks who tend to run big campaigns like the international wiki loves campaigns. They're often working across context and to do this, you have to have like a broader sense of what's possible within the movement and also exposure to the things you can work. And so we broke down these three skill areas into units that had particular skills on units one and two. So focus on learning what the wiki movement means by knowledge gaps and topics for impact so we have these wonderful research from the family wiki media foundation research team on how to describe knowledge gaps, based on all of the different attempts to do that over the years, but also we examine the movement strategy, what exactly it was in focus and unit two we dig deeper into specific knowledge frameworks around climate change sustainability and the cycle of the course. And the tools that we can use like pet scanning or wiki data query circuits that kind of stuff. The next big segment of the course was focused on identifying the right participants and making sure that they got the right kind of that by being creative responding to them. And you'll learn a little bit more from that when we share some some of the experiences from organizers and course. We focused on creativity because something we've been hearing and something we've been observing across grantees and partners in the movement is that like edit the phones are not enough. We need to meet our audiences with something else. And we find that the folks who do create a different activities are really thinking about who is their audience. And this is the audience need, and then unit five focus on what have people done before in the movement for audiences like this. And so we use these three units to really give people time and space to creatively reflect on like, who do I actually want to contribute to a community of projects. What does that look like, and how can I be creative and open for them to do this work. The last unit was basically focused on some right so the final assignment for the course is writing a rapid grant or something similar to a rapid brain. That requires you to do all of the other things you do for grant making and community movement. But we also talk about team building, finding the right measurement tools, and really being ready to to communicate your activity to the rest of the movement when you do communicate about it say apply for a grant or ask people to join you, they will understand what's involved. You might be asking, like, why did we start with climate and sustainability, what was this, why, why would you run a thing on this course. We're looking for a topic, a topic for impact that was global nature, and we've been seeing, especially global south communities were really responding to the with the first human rights campaign and I think the number of activities and events that have been happening throughout the last couple of years and in you'll see in the conferences on seconds on this and these topics. We wanted to focus on that. We knew it was a topic of a lot of complexity, people were not running very diverse events around it, and we didn't want to kind of intervene on the topic for impact that had to develop the community because we wanted it if we're going to do other topics for a long time, we want to make sure there is a just story process. And so, all of these things kind of made the chance to focus on climate sustainability possible. So I'll hand it over to Felix to talk a little bit more about the outcomes and and what what the course like the participant. So yeah, we've talked enough about like why we wanted to do this. I think it's very important to also share what actually happened out of this and I think for for us we were just testing out something and piloting to see the best impact that it could create. And to be honest with you, we were overwhelmed with the numbers that we got when the call for applications was opened. We had over 140 applicants apply for the course of which we accepted only 37 out of the 143 that applied. A majority of them were Nigerians. It is needful to say that our focus region for the first cohort was actually Sub-Saharan Africa. And we chose Sub-Saharan Africa because we could see the appetite and the readiness for organizers within the region that wanted to scale up to do beyond what they were currently doing in on the continent of Africa. So we targeted Sub-Saharan Africa and overwhelmingly we had a lot of applicants from Sub-Saharan Africa. But we did also have participation or applicants coming in from other regions like Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Asia as well as Latin America. 37 people were accepted, four dropped on the way because of several issues, personal issues. We had 21 graduate from the program and then four completed a majority of content from the program. These people, the four additional people that completed the majority of the content in the program did not graduate at the time that graduation was happening. But these were people that also completed a course after the math. And so, yeah, very excited to share these stats with you. For me, the most exciting thing about the Organizer Lab is the fact that after the program, some few applied for a grant which was also attached to the program and those that were selected for the grant or awarded the grant run programs within the group. And some run programs that people that are working for human rights, others run programs that were solely created from scratch in their communities. And from what we are seeing, six months after the course, Organizers who completed the course are running events that produce more edits than folks without the training. And we have reports that Organizers are using their skills for capacity building across regional and local activities. We also have seen Organizers actually adopt certain aspects of the course in training their own communities and training other people within the Wikimedia movement, which was something that we actually hope. So it's been great, a journey so far. It's also been a journey full of lessons and opportunities to actually revitalize whatever we are building here and to make sure that we're doing something good for the movement going forward. Next slide. Next slide please. So at this point, we're going to share a few testimonies or a few videos with you about some community folks that actually engage in the course of what participants of the program and how this is affecting all how they're using this within their local Wikipedia spaces. Alex, I'm going to hand over to you to introduce the videos. Cool. So our first video is a series of four short videos from Paula in Uruguay. And she was, so as you said, we had, we've had a new government, some certain Africa was likely to be the main part of our homework, but we made sure to include kind of fair balance representation across those other regions as well. And so Paula was one of our participants that was selected from the Latin group. And so here. Hi, everyone. My name is Paula. I'm the community engagement program manager of Wikimedia, the Uruguay. I applied for the organizer lab because climate change is one of the topics we work on and I had never let the organization of activities around that topic before. Hi, everyone. My name is Paula. I'm the Let me get some extra homework. Community engagement program manager. Things during the course. I learned strategies for selecting a topic within climate change, which has many edges. I learned how to do it within a framework that will give it consistency and validation. And I learned a way to think about what audience I want to reach and based based on that define what activities to carry out. This is the sample. Can you hear the video as a group to select a specific theme for the Wiki for Human Rights campaign in Uruguay. We chose to work on the right to clean water in the middle of the campaign due to a drought of more than three years and how it was managed more than half of the population of the country was left without access to drinking water. One of the lessons that the organizers lab left me with was being able to address the issue of climate change without feeling sadness or anxiety. I really like this experience because I was able to learn about what volunteers from other regions of the world are doing, particularly in Africa. And I feel like I was part of a community within the Wikimedia movement of a global community. And I got the feeling that the work we were doing was important, that it matters. So I'm really grateful with the organizers lab team, especially Euphemia, Alex and Felix, and I recommend it. So if you're interested in taking this course, this organizer lab, just do it. So bye. I hope you are having fun in Wikimedia. And I wanted to highlight to, as Paul talked about, she spent a lot of time thinking about the audience that they had in the context of Uruguay and especially in this moment where there's like a painful drought happening so much so that we didn't have fresh water in our pipes. And in this part of the world, she was able to kind of define and think and change her perspective on how Wikimedia could be part of that change. And part of it was building this really wonderful persona as a demonstration tool. She said I can share this as part of our learning materials. And so if you have a slide that you can see like one of the learning outcomes, one of the assignments is to better understand the audience that you're going to address a local environment topic. The next person to speak is Romeo and he'll tell you a little bit more about what he gave from the post. My name is Romeo and I am the team leader of the Wikimedia community user group in South Sudan. I think one of the newest countries in the world. And so I have been actively involved in promoting knowledge sharing and of course committing engagement through Wikimedia projects in my country in South Sudan, engaging different stakeholders, the academia, institutions, and of course, non-governmental and government institutions. Why did I apply for this course? So I applied for the organizer lab because I saw the immense potential of organizing content campaigns to be able to bridge knowledge gaps in my community. So I wanted to enhance also my skills and learn effective strategies to create impact campaigns that would attract new contributors, partners and of course, also supporters to the Wikimedia movement. So looking at Wikimedia community South Sudan being very new in the country. So I think I also wanted to be able to be able to attract different types of people. But of course, all these deserve skills. And this looked like a very viable opportunity for me to be able to share my skills and of course also learn really a lot from which I did. So which takes me to the next question, which is about like, what did I learn and how am I applying all that I learned in my community? So during the organizer lab, I gained valuable insights, more especially into designing successful campaigns, you know, focused on climate change and sustainability related topics. Now, I learned about, you know, campaign organizing best practices, you know, what you should do before getting into the campaign. And you know, how you also build connections with fellow organizers globally, we're able to connect with the different people. So of course, that art of being able to build partnerships and of course, also build connections was something really I learned a lot, which has helped me up to now. And also being able to develop project proposals, which of course is something that we are able to be tasked to do at the end. So just having that skill to be able to, you know, develop proposals that meaningful, you know, we had a lot of support to be able to do that. And with support from mentors, they were able to allow us and help us so much to be able to develop such kind of proposals. So I've been able to apply these learnings by successfully organizing the campaign that raised awareness about climate issues in South Sudan. And of course, encouraged also active participation from our community members. Now, we are facing a very huge situation in my country, especially as far as climate change is concerned. I think South Sudan has first one of probably the largest flood cases that we have seen though, of course, there are a lot of countries right now in Africa facing it. But we have got almost half of the country in the upper north of South Sudan that has really, really suffered a lot with immense numbers of people being displaced. And of course, so many people also as well being able to suffer issues around drought and hunger because of the floods. So this looked like really an opportunity for me to do that. And I organized the Wiki for Human Rights campaign, which went on very successfully and we can see the results being very amazingly. We got, I think, the first time we were able to get up to 72 articles that we worked on, which is a very huge rise before I got the skills that were, I think, a former article were around 16 or something in the campaign that we did before. But now a very huge rise, meaning some of the skills I learned from the organizer lab were able to add an effect on also the campaign that I did. What unique lesson did I learn and I would like to share with the audience? One unique lesson that I would like to share actually is the power of collaboration. So through the organizer lab, I realized that involving various stakeholders, which includes of course volunteers, local organizations and experts can significantly actually amplify the impact of a campaign. So collaborative efforts not only bring like diverse perspectives, but they also create a very strong sense of community ownership is something that I've vividly been able to see via the campaigns that I've done. Like right now, even though the Wiki for Human Rights were able to engage the academia were able to engage different people. But long ago, I used to just think that, you know, all Wikimedia programs can just end up by getting participants and probably implementing it and go. But by the organizer lab were able to learn the immense power of collaborations, which actually helped a lot for me to be able to do something. So what changes has this experience made to you as a volunteer? Me as a volunteer actually, in my Wikimedia journey, this experience has been very transformative for my volunteer Wikimedia journey. You know, it has not only like equipped me with practical skills to be able to organize effective campaigns, but also expanded my network of like-minded peers around the world right now. I know Tauchi, I know Euphemia, you know, I know a couple of colleagues, you know, Agnes. I know so many people that actually I was able to know from this campaign, so I was able to network with a lot of people. So the knowledge I also gained and the connections I met have energized me personally to be able to take on more leadership roles within our Wikimedia community user group. And of course, also within Africa, I'm so excited that I was selected to be able to be among us, the people who will be organizing the Wikivibrants campaign this year. Amazing. So meaning the energy that I actually have right now to be able to take on a couple of roles really, really did something that I built up, like I said, an esteem, you know, a personal Wikimedia esteem. I can call it the Wikia esteem, you know, within this and I'm super excited that this is going to help improve my community, which it's already doing. And of course, we'll continue making a meaningful impact for my community and South Sudan via these skills. Otherwise, thank you so much. And last but not least, we have. Sorry, the videos were a little bit too big in the slides. Hi, everyone. I'm Bukola James. I'm a non-practicing librarian and a satisfied contents campaign organizer, as well as the community coordinator for Code for Africa Wikimedia and Residence Initiative. My involvement with Wikipedia span from being a satisfied trainer for the reading Wikipedia in the classroom to found in the Wikipedia for Global Scholars State University. And I also currently serve as an advisor to the Wikipedia plus education user group, as well as the regional licensing officer for Sub-Saharan Africa on the next connecting. I enrolled in the organizers lab to deepen my graphs on designing topics of impact and particularly those addressing climate change and sustainability gaps. I was further motivated by the program as it promises to help organizers like me connect with campaign runners globally and also providing the opportunity to assess a special fund to support impactful. Projects. My key takeaway will be that the lab taught me the intricacies of crafting campaigns addressing topics of impact like climate and sustainability issues. It also connected me with a global community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about organizing around these crucial topics. Now, apart from the network that it has created for me, it also provided me with mentorship, mentorship on learning on wiki and off wiki skills. And this led to the birth of the wiki climate campus on Nigeria 2023 projects, which is a collective project of different campaign organizers to engage Nigerian students in open climate movements and building sustainable wiki media fan club communities in Nigeria. But beyond techniques and strategies, a good lesson stood out and which is collaboration is power. So by partnering with other organizers and mentors from across the world, we amplified our collective impacts, which is a testament to the idea that together we shared objective. We can forge ahead in tackling the mammoth challenges of climate change and sustainability and other topics of impact. And on a personal note, the organizers lab has revolutionized my journey with wiki media beyond the technical skills. It introduced me to a global network of peers and mentors with the resources supports and funding opportunities provided. I feel empowered to take on bigger projects and initiative. The lab has positioned me to situate my projects within global and regional campaigns in 2023, making my contribution more aligned with product sustainability objective. Thank you. So, if you want to learn more about the projects that were funded from the course and some of the graduates, you can be happy. I have a post that's dating the slide back and I shared the slide back in the in the chat. And it's available online. No, no, make sure it's circulated initially as well. And Felix, did you want to comment a little bit more about the blog. Oh, yeah. So I mean, in this blog, we basically are talking about the cohort, the make of the cohort, what participants viewed as most useful from the core from their course, and also highlighting the grantees. And those that were selected to receive grants to run their programs. And so I'd suggest to you or encourage you to read this blog to learn more about their projects and to learn about the impact that this program created. Next slide. Yeah, I think this is you, Alex. Yeah, so we decided that the first cohort was pretty promising. And we still, we were still learning a lot about how we teach and share this content and so really run a second cohort of the course. This time it's going to have two different topics. It's not gender and climate, plus each other but gender or climate change or both. We know the movement's interest in the gender gap has always been a topic for impact focus. And we think that the lab can be applied to any topic for impact. So what we're going to be doing is we're going to be changing the course just a little bit, not too much. You saw the outline of the course earlier and I can go back to it if we want during the Q&A session. But we're going to be modifying the course so that the first couple of sections, the first three units can actually, so we're still going to teach it in a cohort of about 40 to 50 people. So we're going to accept more people in the course of the cycle. We, our idea is we want those chapters, those units to be self-taught content on the Wikilearn platform, something that someone can pick up and teach themselves. By adding the gender, we want to figure out how to teach other topics for impact besides climate. Climate's one that I happen to have developed some expertise on, so I kind of knew how to fit it into the content as we were developing it. But we really want to be able to allow different parts of the movement to highlight different topics for impact and be able to offer the keywords of the organizer lab or at least some parts of the material. And additionally, we're going to try pilot the translation functions on the Wikilearn platform and teach a dual language cohort together. So we're going to, yeah, so the, we're hoping to, or we're not hoping, we're planning on introducing a Spanish language track in addition to English. The choice for Spanish is both a combination of, we know that gender and climate are important topics in Latin America, and there's a growing community around it, but also all of our instructors this cycle speak Spanish to me being the least, the least strong presenter of Spanish but other two are fluid. And so we know we can support the learners in those, in that language. Yeah, so yay to adding one more topical area, gender, and also yay to adding a new language to the course. We're very excited to add gender as a topical area for the program also very much excited about adding Spanish. Our target is still going to be English and Spanish and also focus on SSA regions, but Spanish from Spain from, I would say just anybody who speaks Spanish is invited to apply for this course basically so yeah we're very excited as you can see. I'm smiling a lot because I'm very excited about this addition. So, so yeah, in this particular round, which we're about to launch, like Alex said, we were opening it up to have more people because we have the capacity to take in more people this year. And we are hoping that right after Wikimedia in the week of 23 to 25, we can actually open out a call for applications. And so please keep watching our meta pages for updates and we will be sending an email to that effect on Wikimedia for those who want to participate in the course and follow procedures in those announcements to sign up for the course. If for some reason you're unable to do something and you really want our feedback you could send an email to campaigns at Wikimedia.org, or you can ping me, and I will answer you directly. So I think this brings us to the end of our presentation in the next session like Alex did mention in the beginning, we'd like to workshop or have a workshop thingy thing with you. Basically just talking about some of these question areas that we put on here and hearing your point of view so we can make the second iteration even way better for you. Over to you Alex. I have a few broad questions. We'll be watching both the etherpad or we invite the facilitators in the room to pass around the mic. We want to hear from you. I'm going to be taking notes in the etherpad. But what kinds of topics for impact would you like to see training a focus on throughout the movement. If we do topic focus training for the lab is we think talking to people who are working on similar topics that you learn more than if people are working on very different ones. Do these skills sound interesting. Do you want them shared. If you had access to this content as kind of self content or something you could deploy in your community but you use it. But also just do you have any questions about the lab. Is there anything we can clarify. So I'm watching the chat on event. Yeah. But if the facilitator room could check if there's any questions of room to that would be great. Yeah, so any question for the speakers. Yeah, one question from the room already. Hi. Yes, Mike. Take us in here. I had to drop out of the organizer lab because of the mostly the time zone issue. The mandatory meetings are all at 5am in New Zealand times. Probably more inconvenient, especially for the ECAP region. Since most people live in the ECAP region, I'm hoping that there'll be a future iteration of this that's actually not in a European or American time zone for a change. Client change obviously is a pretty big issue here too. It's nice to see the move towards self talk content though that's going to help things a lot. Yeah, so this next cycle is still going to be an intensive like we did the last time and because we're still like refining into keeping the content. But as I said, the first three units will be moved to self talk content as a level on wiki learning where people can take it. And then our idea, our theory is that we will be able to offer more cycles of the organizer lab that are more kind of equitable and diverse and rotating around globe and around topics. In the future where we don't have to have someone like participating first for two, three months, which is a lot of time. Essentially, if you're a media volunteer, but rather you can take the self talk content and then join us for a month where we workshop and are creative on ideas. I know this has taken a while. Online writing online learning content is kind of it's complicated and making sure it's translatable and kind of flexible at an international level. This has been kind of interesting. We're learning a lot about how to do this. But yes, by the way, that we would offer it. Again, Spanish and English doesn't isn't as inclusive for that part. So I'm also acknowledging they haven't made that that effort yet. Does that answer the question. Yeah, moving to the next question from the room now. Hi there. My name is Izzy. I'm from the United States. Thank you so much for the presentation. I was wondering if you could clarify the level of experience or just the amount of time sort of on average the attendees for the last cycle were for their involvement in the movement before joining the organizer lab. Yeah, so we weren't targeting people. So there was a floor there was a minimum required amount of skill which is you run at least one community event, and you have at least, I can't remember how many at it so it was a certain number of edits. We use this floor to screen out people who hadn't yet experimented within the movement, like the kinds of things that we know other parts of movement can train on right like running your first is something that like other groups are very good at training like art and feminism, for instance. So we weren't focused on that. And then we, what we did is we kind of looked at the distribution of participants that could be in the course and we tried to make kind of an equitable balance focus with the most of the covert being in that medium experience range, which is they run more than one or three or something more often more than five events. And they, they've been around movement for several years, but we weren't targeting folks like you might who has many years of organizing, even though we did have a handful of people in the cohort who like that because we did want to see, like, who benefit the most. And Felix based on kind of what you've seen so far. I think that the medium experience people were the folks who seemed the most benefit from curriculum to right. Yeah, so we did see some new is actually like Romeo really upscale themselves but most of the people that benefited a lot with the medium experience editors, those that are done some local events and we're keenly interested in upscaling themselves to do something more global. Any other question from the room. No. I mean, also feel free to help us answer some of the questions that we have on here on the ETH. Or just feel free to speak in the room. Eight minutes left. So any other questions, comments? Any thoughts? If not, probably I can give it back to speakers if there is any wrap up. Okay, so I think when you're in a room like this and there's no comments is either you did well or it was terrible. It's almost been like for me so it could be that I was terrible. But yeah, if there isn't any more questions in the room. I like to say thank you for making the time to join the organizer lab. No, before we wrap up Alex, do you have any last words on anything that people should know for the second iteration V2. I might see a thing or two so just passing it to you now. Yeah, just that, you know, we were still testing this. And our goal is really to have something scalable and reusable and as we saw throughout through folks like Romeo and Pola and tochi and their their handful other folks who reported that they like reuse some of the teaching material for the course so the idea is we really want to open source kind of open access as much of this as possible for people to reuse. The only reason we haven't published as like shoes here in the venture course yet is that we're, we're learning how to to kind of refine my content and some of the things didn't work as well as we thought they would like one of the assignments just was not very good. The first time. And so, yep, that that's why we'll hopefully be publishing stuff in about six to eight months will you'll start seeing some of the self taught content. Yeah, to also wrap up, I'd like to say that some of the things that we presented especially the stats, as you would see was not very extensive. This is because we're still evaluating the first situation of the courts of the course that actually happened. So we will be given an extensive feedback in months to come. There would be a publication on Dave, explaining the impact of the course. And so we are very much excited and keenly looking forward to that. And we are encouraging you to ask questions. If you have feedback for us, reach us at campaigns. We can campaigns at Wikimedia.org. Please feel free to also apply for the cost cost to test if you are a staff of an affiliate. It could be an opportunity to see how we run this course. People from your communities to join us. We're very, very excited as you can. I am very excited actually to run this course again and I can't wait for us to open the calls for people to join. And so yeah, thank you all for joining us in the room. Very excited for some of the questions that came in, but also very much excited for the questions that will come. So please feel free to engage. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you. So before we leave, there is one more comment from the room. Nice. Hello, everyone. My name is Alana. And I also work on campaigns and the foundation, but more from the software tooling side. So since this is wrapping up, I thought I just quickly plug. If anyone's free at lunchtime, we're going to have a meet up in room 310 to talk about the software side. So what's working for you. What is really not working for you that you would like improved. We really want to hear from all of you. So join us in 310 at 1315, if you would like to be part of that. Thank you. Yeah, and that reminds me and I thank you so much for speaking up in the room. So our team works closely with the learners team. We are the campaigns program team and they are the campaigns product team. A lot of the work they do was actually influenced by research that was done by Alex Stinson, my colleague right here, the organizers. Organize this research and also some sort of internal research that came up. This team is actually working closely with us to build tools that help organizers to do their work more effectively in the movement. I think last year they launched the event registration tool, which is a tool that is live that you can test for registration purposes in your events. I think currently we're using ad hoc ways people are registering for events on Google forms and event bright and stuff like that we want to have our own wiki kind of registration so that tool was built and I think it's live you can test it out and I think this time around they're looking at doing something more on event discovery so please join them please please do join them to listen to what they have for you and I will be there actually to help share more on what they're doing. I think it's amazing that the foundation is now beginning to develop a lot for the organizers and supporting the organizing movement. In the past it's been just some volunteer developers building tools to help organizers but this time around we have a whole team for that. Yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed that and we're going to have a reflection on the wiki for human rights campaign in about seven hours, six hours as well, which is the more programmatic side of this training. I'm not spreading the topics from back before doing. It's the one topic for any support. So if you join us later, we'll also be sharing them. So see you then.
