Greetings Everyone, The theme for *WikiConference India* 2026 has officially been revealed: "Reimagining the Knowledge Commons." - Community Leadership in an Evolving Wikimedia Ecosystem
As we gather at Kochi this September (4th-6th), this theme feels especially meaningful. It’s not just about maintaining and contributing to knowledge. It's more about rethinking how knowledge is created, shared, and sustained in the rapidly changing world. This year, we will be gathering together to reflect, discuss, and shape the conversations around: - Community Leadership in the trend of AI: In a time of declining trust in online information and the rapid rise of AI-generated content, strengthening community-led, human-created knowledge becomes more critical than ever. - Empowering regional languages and local knowledge: Reimagining the knowledge commons is not only about tools or platforms- it is also about leadership. It is about ensuring that regional languages, local knowledge systems and underrepresented histories remain at the heart of the global movement. - Innovative models for open-access participation: It encourages us to think beyond traditional editing and explore new ways of participation and knowledge creation that reflect the diversity of India and South Asia. Quick Reminder: Apply for the travel scholarship <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2026/Scholarship> [1] before the deadline tomorrow. Let’s come together and be a part of the movement that shapes what comes next for the Wikimedia ecosystem in South Asia!
