[edit]Poetry in Motion My takeaway about this session being a poet is that, i enjoyed the three presentations by the three wonderful Poets from the Wikimedians of UAE. I was surprised to know that wikimedian exists in UAE. Indeed Wikipedia is free knowledge for all. The presentation by the three poets was lovely, beautiful and knowledgeable. I love Arkham’s presentation.
Laughter Mediation This session was practical it was anchored by Carlo Brescia, she helped to demonstrate how we can relax by the body through mediation. I participated in the online class on Zoom where she instructed us to stretch our body by jumping, massaging the face and a lot more. It was fun-filled:i enjoyed the session and I still perform the exercise she instructed us then.
Education and Partnership As an advocate of SDGs4 Quality Education, I’m glad about how Wikipedia enables schools, colleges and universities to use Wikipedia in studying and how they also contribute. I love the partnership with Wikipedia to ensure quality this is a very initiation by the Wikipedia foundation. My key takeaway is the ability of teachers and students to come together for the common welfare of the institution and also improve their reading, and teaching abilities it is a wonderful initiation.
