How did you attend Wikimania (virtually or in-person)?

In person

What did you spend the scholarship funds on?

The Wikimania Festival Edition was the first of its won in Juba, South Sudan and we held at space that had to bring all the Wikimedians and aspirants to same space. I therefore used the scholarship funds for internet data, transportation and feeding during the three-day event.

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

I learned about article creation, copyright infringement for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia platforms including Wikidata, Wikicommon and many others.

How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?

We connected through the Wikimedia Community User Group South Sudan. I met with over 27 other aspiring Wikimedians at the event and we learned so much together including creating a wider space for building a team that will cover a wider range of articles for South Sudan.
