Team building -- during the pandemic we're lack of personal contacts that lead to a stack of small problems and conflicts that are unsolvable without

in-person meeting.

Outreach and content gaps -- we have lack of activity in some geographical areas, so 4 days stay of experienced wikimedians in one can give Wikimedia projects plenty of quality content (photos on Commons, articles in Wikipedia and Wikivoyage, etc.). Learning -- our UG got a new drone, so we're planning to make a drone learning lessons so more UG members could use it to make quality aerial images and videos.
