Session
In 2023, as part of the CEE Hub's activities, we established an informal group of CEE young Wikimedians, which started to meet regularly and work on getting more young people involved. The WMCZ decided to further support and expand this lively and collaborative group of people globally with the very first youth conference, which took place in Prague in May 2025. With them, in a workshop-style conference, we addressed the fundamental question of how to get more young people involved in Wikipedia.
Come find out what we learned about engagement and the perspectives of young Wikimedians.
