Similar to the first in-person meeting, which also took place in Prague, the focus of the meeting is planning CEE Youth group activities for 2025 as well as enabling CEE youth members to connect better, brainstorm and exchange their experiences.

Background

edit

Group is an initiative of the CEE Hub to informally connect young people (younger than 30 years old) from the Central and Eastern Europe across the region to support capacity building in this area. It is organised by CEE Hub coordinator Barbara Klen and SC member Klára Joklová.

The group was established in May 2023. We want to create a space for collaboration and sharing among young Wikimedians. For this reason, the Catch Up meeting held by CEE Hub and Wikimedia Foundation's Movement Communications regional specialist Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska on 16th May 2023 was also focused on young people in the region.
