**What is your idea about?**

We need to reach out to other countries and communities, so that we can learn and improve our own community. In the last year we visited CMS Africa and this opened a dialogue with participants there. We found out that TYPO3 is used in Africa, but there is a lack of expertise and people being able to teach TYPO3 there. We propose to create a Community Expansion Initiative Workgroup so that we can visit CMS Africa in 2019 with a Talk / Training Session with some Members interested.

**What is the potential impact of your idea?**

We would benefit from an outside feedback and the opportunity so present TYPO3 in other areas than europe.

**Approximate Funds needed**

€10,000 - €25,000

**Recommendation of the Budget Committee:** The budget committee supports this idea.
