Hi Harry That sounds like fun! Perhaps you could have funded prizes, even if the activity is online and asynchronous? I know Lea at WMDE is happy to respond to emails and questions - she's on lea.lacroix_...@wikimedia.de or @Auregann on Telegram.
The page has a list of activities that can be funded, as follows, but I'm guessing this isn't totally exhaustive: - Rent a space to organize an onsite event - Rent or buy the necessary equipment to run a presentation or a workshop (laptops and other devices, screen, furniture, etc.) - Provide the internet connection needed for an onsite event - Cover for the transport and accommodation costs of organizers, speakers and participants - Provide food and refreshments during an onsite event (including birthday cake!) - Cover for the needs of participants: data plan, power supplies, childcare, food, etc. - Communication costs: design, print, advertisement - Merchandising for participants and organizers: printing stickers, T-shirts, etc. - Prizes for contests - Compensation for well-defined roles that do not replace volunteer activities, for example graphic design, training, speaker fees, translation, project management, administrative tasks. - Administrative fees that are expected to be required to receive the bank transfer from a German bank account, or to distribute funds to other entities.
