The first Wikimedia Youth Conference will take place in Prague on May 16–18, 2025. The main theme of the conference will be: “How to attract young people to Wikipedia?”
Eighty young people from the CEE region and the broader global Wikimedia movement will work together to find answers on how to make Wikimedia projects and activities more accessible to young people, ensure their growth and retention, and what they can do within their own communities in this regard. Rather than a traditional conference, this will be a networking event focused on developing participants’ potential through discussions and working groups.
The conference is organized primarily by Wikimedia Czech Republic, with support from the Wikimedia CEE Hub. CEE Youth Group is a CEE Hub initiative that informally connects young people from across Central and Eastern Europe, helping to develop their skills and capacity in this area.
