Translate this post

As the Wikimedia movement continues to grow and evolve, it is important to reflect the incredible work being done by Wikimedians worldwide. 

It is with this objective that the WikiWomenCamp 2023 team seeks Highlight Videos that capture the essence of your gender gap projects and inspire others to contribute. 

In this blog, we call upon all Wikimedians to create and share their impactful work addressing the gender gap in the movement.

Showcasing Impact

The Highlight Videos will present a concise and visually appealing snapshot of the projects, initiatives, and achievements within the Wikimedia movement. 

They serve as a platform for sharing success stories, showcasing the diverse range of contributions, and inspiring others to get involved. 

Whether it’s a local community event, a Wikipedia edit-a-thon, or a project aimed at increasing content diversity, every effort deserves to be celebrated and highlighted.

We invite you to submit short 3-5 minute videos highlighting your projects, initiatives, or efforts that have made a significant difference in addressing the gender gap

We know that many of you are doing remarkable work in various corners of the world, and we want to shine a spotlight on your achievements.

Why Short Videos

Our camp sessions are extensive, covering a wide range of topics and discussions. 

In the interest of time and with a commitment to showcasing the amazing initiatives across our movement, we believe that short videos are an effective way to capture and share the essence of your work.

How your Videos will be Used
