The Wiki Loves Women Skills Focus programme is a practical, group-based online training programme that is designed to build specific skills among community members involved in Wikimedia and Open movements. The programme emphasizes learning by doing and creating, helping participants produce tangible results that improve how women are represented online.

The WLW Skills Focus programme builds on the experience of the Wiki Loves Women Focus Group. While the Focus Group creates a space for ongoing exchange, reflection, and peer learning, this programme is structured within a short timeframe to transfer and develop targeted skills with clear deliverables. Each cohort is centred on one theme, with participants working towards a defined final output.

For the 2026 edition, the focus is on audio storytelling through podcast production. Participants will be guided through the full process of creating a podcast episode, from idea to publication.

The WLW Skills Focus programme is part of a wider approach by Wiki In Africa to supporting communities with practical tools and knowledge. The aim is to ensure that participants are able not only to learn new skills, but also to apply them in their local contexts and share them with others.
