CEE
Wikimedia Community Malta was accepted as a participating member of the Wikimedia Central and Eastern Europe partnership on Friday 29 March 2019 during a thematic group meetup at the Wikimedia Deutshland office in Berlin, which was the 2019 Wikimedia Summit.
Following a proposal for participation by WCM founding member Toni Sant, CEE members expressed no reservations towards this and it was agreed that Malta's participation would be discussed on the Meta Wiki towards formal engagement in 2020, when Malta took on the first CEE Spring contest in Maltese.
On this page you will find more details about WCM's engagement with CEE over the years since 2019.

CEE Spring 2022
WCM is participating fully in Wikimedia CEE Spring 2022. This is the third CEE contest on the Maltese-language Wikipedija, known locally as Rebbiegħa CEE 2022.
Outreach events
To drum up interest in Rebbiegħa CEE 2022 and provide some support to the Maltese-language Wikipedia editing community, we've put together a programme of online events in collaboration with the Valletta Design Cluster and the European Commission Representation Office in Malta.
Regular online workshops are held via this link on Thursdays throughout March, April and May 2021 CEE Spring 2022: from 6pm CET until 8pm CET. the goal for these sessions is to skill up new and beginner editors while creating and improving Wikipedia pages as part of the Rebbiegħa CEE 2022 contest.
A face-to-face edit-a-thon is also planned to take place in late April 2021 at the Valletta Design Cluster; full detals available shortly.
