2019:Related activities
Wikimania 2019 aims not only to be a great conference focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but also a concept: a one-year focus on Wikimedia, Free Knowledge, the SDGs and how to strengthen each other. This page will list activities taking place around Stockholm, Sweden and northern Europe that are related to but not a part of the conference. It will enable attendees to plan possible trips, to potentially extend their visits and to gain more from visiting Stockholm and Sweden.
