Description: Join us at the upcoming GLAM Wikimedia Conference for an exciting and interactive Connectathon focused on improving connections, and mutual relations, but also on the development of ideas related to the improvement of the GLAM program, as well as the Wikimedia movement. This event is designed to bring together all the conference participants passionate about sharing knowledge and preserving cultural heritage. The Connectathon is an open, fun, and safe space for participants of the Conference to share their common interests and skills while embodying the "Let’s Connect" spirit of peer connection, inclusion, and collaboration. This event aims to connect conference participants in an informal yet enriching way, fostering deep discussions on topics important to the conference and to the Wikimedia movement. At the heart of the Connectathon is the desire to create an environment where diverse voices and perspectives come together. Participants will leave with enriched skills, new connections, and a deeper understanding of collaboration in the Wikimedia and GLAM communities. They'll carry forward the Let's Connect spirit, empowered to contribute meaningfully to open knowledge and cultural heritage preservation.			Experience level: Begginer
