Takeaways – choose 3 specific Wikimania sessions you attended and describe your key take-aways per session.

I attended a couple of sessions the 3 that i will talk about are: 1)Getting started with Wiki loves monuments As a newcomer in organising WLM this helped me with more tips on how the competition is organised 2)The challenges and opportunities of building a community, Zimbabwe has a lot of newcomers and that being the case we are still in the process of forming a user group. In this session I noted that the challenges we face are similar to those of Botswana, but with time, patience and help from experienced Wikimedians we will make it. 3)Understanding DEI in Wiki loves monuments. I learnt how other countries overcome the challenges they face when organising WLM. Also learnt of the different ways WLM is organised in other countries.This gave me ideas hoe the competition can be organised in my country to make it interesting each year.
