| Episode 41 | Let’s celebrate our community’s projects & achievements!
In this episode, our guest host Justice Okai-Allotey will talk to some of the facilitators and community leaders of key African projects about what inspired them to found their projects. We’ll also explore what it takes to facilitate those projects and the challenges they’ve faced along the way. As African Wikimedians, we know about the importance of collaborations, so we’ll also be taking a look at partnerships those projects have developed, both within and outside of the Wiki landscape. |

| Episode 40 | Wiki Conferences behind the scenes
Every year, Wikimedians have at least one must-attend Wikimedia conference on their wishlist, sometimes 2 or 5! There are now many thematic, regional and global conferences that are scheduled for every single month of the year. But how are these conferences organised, and by who? Who decides which in-person conferences are held and when? Who makes critical decisions relating to location, themes, scholarships and finances? What role do they have in the movement, and what is their value to community members? |
