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. #WikimediaUganda

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. #WikimediaUganda
