Outcome

Shared Experience: What is one way you shared something from your experience with your community (either locally or globally), after the event?

I shared the experiences of my Wikimania conference at a meetup in Patiala for the community members to learn more about the conference and its learnings. Additionally, I shared the experience at Village pump of Punjabi Wikipedia, where i shared about my collaborations and the sessions and panels i presented at Wikimania Stockholm. I am using the learnings from Wikimania 2019 in collaborative community GLAM project "Heritage GLAM". I also have started Punjabi-Greek culture exchange Wikipedia project called Punjabi-Greek Synergasia as a post Wikimania collaboration with Greek community.

It was a fresh and wonderful mix of unique knowledge spaces about different Wikimedia programs and projects Wikimedians organize. To be a learner and a knowledge presenter here, I was honored to be part of the biggest conference and celebrations of the Wiki loving community.
