Abstract:

Wiki Loves Women’s Inspiring Open podcast launched in early 2022 to showcase exceptional women leaders across Africa and beyond. The podcast was hosted by Ghanian journalist and gender activist, Betty Kankam-Boadu. It featured groundbreaking women leaders across Africa.

The Inspiring Open podcast has slowly evolved due to the lack of funding beyond the initial pilot of 16 women. We now interview women within the open movements, specifically the Wikimedia Movement. A call will be made via the poster to nominate female voices from the Wikimedia Movement.

Inspiring Open links:

Audience : basic, medium, advanced
Mode: In-person
Special requirements: wall and fastenings
How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region?

They can learn about many amazing women, just like them, who are dedicated to openness and came to the same point via multiple different paths.
