As Mental Health Awareness Month closes, the Art+Feminism Mental Health Conclave 2026 reminded us that community work and advocacy also need care, support, and honest conversations around wellbeing.

Uganda’s tourism and cultural stories deserve stronger visibility online too.

Wikimedia Uganda was proud to be part of #POATE2026, spotlighting how Wikimedia platforms help document and share Uganda’s heritage with the world.

Good conversations and meaningful connections at #POATE2026.

We were glad to engage with people exploring how open knowledge can help make Uganda’s culture, tourism, and heritage more visible online.

Our stories deserve to be seen, shared, and remembered.

Mental health conversations matter, especially in creative and advocacy spaces where so much emotional labor often goes unseen.

As we work toward better representation online, we also need spaces that care for the people behind the work.

Wikipedia is still one of the few places online where you can just look something up and read.

No ads interrupting you. No paying to access information. No selling your data in the background.
Just free knowledge, shared openly with the world.

For a long time, contributing in many Ugandan languages meant starting from zero.

That’s beginning to shift.
This is how local knowledge grows, with the right tools, and the right people behind them.
