Blueprint takes you through a high-impact episode built around the Wikimedia Knowledge Beyond Borders 2026 initiative. Every segment is anchored to the core theme — expanding Zambia’s footprint in the global free-knowledge ecosystem.

This episode features a deep dive into the Zambia National Service (ZNS), updates on the Wikimedia movement — including the announcement of the Wikimania 2027 host city, governance developments, and an operational briefing on why WikiIndaba 2025 did not take place.

The show closes with a forward-looking message on the strategic priorities for the Wikimedia Community User Group Zambia in 2026.
