Train-the-Trainer participants speaking about their participation experience

Brief description: Train the Trainer (TTT) is a residential workshop that attempts to groom leadership skills among Indian Wikimedia community members. Various topics such as conducting Wiki-events, and outreach activities, documentation and reporting, learning pattern, global metrics etc. are discussed in this workshop.
History: CIS-A2K has conducted Train-the-Trainer in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.
What part of this program will remain the same and why? CIS-A2K received mostly positive feedback about the Train-the-Trainer. Based on these feedback, and our own analysis, the main structure of the workshop will remain the same. Like the 2019 TTT, CIS-A2K will collaborate with communities to organise this year’s event as well, and the venue city will be selected through a community bid.
What part of this program will change and why? We'll make the following changes in the upcoming iteration:

  • SAARC participation: In an attempt to expand the TTT program, CIS-A2K will ensure participation of 4 from neighbouring SAARC countries, including Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
  • Wikimedia Strategy 2030: Wikimedia Strategy 2030 is a very important activity being conducted currently. We believe that Indic Wikimedia leaders/trainers should be well-aware about the strategy, related activities, and the recommendations. Following this observation, we'll have Wikimedia Strategy will be an important discussion topic in this TTT workshop.

Target The targets are:

  1. Around 24 participants from different Indic Wikimedia communities will participate.
  2. 4 of the participants will be from neighbouring SAARC countries
  3. At least 4 events and activities planned by the TTT participants during or after the workshop will be taken forward/supported by CIS-A2K.

Wikimedia Summit, India[edit]

When?: 3-4 weeks before the Wikimedia Summit; Where?: To be decided, possibly Bangalore/Delhi, Number of participants: Depends on the number of participants selected for Wikimedia Summit, Berlin

Brief description: Wikimedia Summit, India is a preparatory event for the Wikimedians who are going to participate in the Wikimedia Summit.
History: CIS-A2K has conducted this conference twice Wikimedia Summit 2019 and Wikimedia Conference 2018. In 2019 Wikimedia Conference was renamed as Wikimedia Summit, and we renamed the India conference accordingly.
What part of this program will remain the same and why? The main structure of the program will remain same. Indic Wikimedians who will be participating in Wikimedia Summit willbe invited directly. We'll get the list of participants from the Wikimedia Summit team. The primary discussion topics will be decided following the main Summit schedule in mind
What part of this program will change and why? We'll make these changes:

  • Both in 2018 and 2019 we conducted Wikimedia Summit India 1-2 weeks before the Summit. We have got feedback from a few participants, specially after the 2019 iteration, that it would be better if this conference held slightly before so that after the event they get enough time to work on the learning to prepare themselves.* After the Wikimedia Summit, we will conduct a hangout session/IRC where the participants can share their learning and experience.

Target The targets are:

  • Inviting all the Wikimedia Summit participants in the conference.
