Monthly Conversation Hours

The Global Advocacy team occasionally hosts conversation hours.

The purpose of these conversation hours is to create a dedicated space for the Foundation's Global Advocacy team to engage directly with Wikimedia volunteers, affiliates, and staff. These forums are an opportunity for us to answer questions about how the Foundation pursues advocacy work, or about your own projects and initiatives, and to connect, share, and learn from each other in a consistent manner.

Upcoming Conversation Hours

There are no more regularly upcoming conversation hours. We completed our pilot from June - October 2022. We will continue to evaluate when to host these again.
