From April 5 to 7, Wikiesfera had the opportunity to participate in Wikicon Portugal 2024, the annual meeting organised by Wikimedia Portugal It brings together Wikimedians and enthusiasts of the Wikimedia movement and free knowledge.
Our colleague Isabel Zapico represented Wikiesfera at this event thanks to the invitation of the organizing chapter. The meeting took place in the Municipal Library of Évora and was attended by other groups and organizations such as Wiki Editoras LX, Mais Teoria da História na Wiki, Wikimedia United Kingdom, Bantumen, Ubuntu Portugal, D3 Direitos Digitais or the National Library of Portugal.
With the central theme "Strengthening and empowering the community", Wikicon Portugal 2024 had an interesting program in which we were able to know the results of the campaign Wiki Loves Portuguese Music (and in which we participated in September 2023 during the Wikidata Days), discover an interesting project with university faculty carried out from Mais Teoria da História na Wiki or learn from the experiences of our colleagues from Wiki Editoras LX in black visibility projects, accessibility y fairness.
In this atmosphere of fellowship and mutual learning, we also had the opportunity to strengthen our feminist collaboration networks with the Wikimedian community and raise a number of strategic alliances They will help us to further narrow the knowledge gaps. Because #TogetherWe'reMoreVisible.
