Join Wikimania 2027 in Santiago

Join Wikimania 2027 in Santiago Wikimania 2027 will gather editors in Santiago while hosts finalise hybrid venue plans. Neighbour tip Bring a friend who has never visited before; shared first visits help you remember names, routes, and follow-up events you might skip alone. What you can do in Santiago - Ask a volunteer what follow-up dates they recommend for newcomers before you leave the site - Read movement updates on the 2027:Wikimania wiki and Diff posts (Wikimania 2027 wiki) - Watch for scholarship and registration windows when the host team publishes them - Prepare session ideas on Latin American language communities, climate data, and decolonial archives - Join local Wikimedia Chile meet-ups listed on the wiki before the main conference week How to join Registration opens on wikimania.wikimedia.org when the host committee announces pricing and hybrid access rules. Do not book non-refundable travel until the venue is confirmed on official channels. Share one thing you learned with a neighbour when you return home; teaching doubles your own recall and spreads open routines. When & where Santiago, Chile - venue TBA per the organiser page per Wikimedia Foundation notes on Diff and the wiki. Hybrid participation details will follow venue confirmation. Why it matters in Santiago A Global South Wikimania centres editors who keep Spanish, Mapudungun, and regional knowledge online against platform churn and misinformation. Bring a notebook; details you capture on site help your block organise a return visit or small solidarity fund drive. Good to know - Is the event hybrid? Movement communications describe hybrid plans; confirm streaming rules when registration opens. - When will the venue be announced? Follow wikimania.wikimedia.org; Solarpunker skips a map marker until the address is public. - Are scholarships available? Wikimania usually offers scholarships; deadlines appear on the wiki each cycle.

Rescue food waste at Santiago neighbourhood markets

Turn market leftovers into community benefit Chilean case studies on food loss and waste highlight community solutions that improve local livelihoods and open unexpected economic opportunities. Fundación Basura’s Ferias Libres Cero Desperdicio project runs hands-on interventions at open-air markets, recovering edible food and organic material that would otherwise rot in landfills. What you can do - Volunteer at a Ferias Libres Cero Desperdicio market day in the Santiago metropolitan area. - Ask your local feria libre organisers whether a zero-waste market intervention is planned in your comuna. Why it matters Market recovery keeps nutrients in the neighbourhood loop and builds skills residents can replicate, a concrete piece of Chile’s growing zero-waste municipal movement described in the 2025 regional report.
