Go with WP

🎬 NEW VIDEO PREMIERE – From Kathmandu to Basel: Empowering the Next Generation of WordPress 🌍💙
📍Filmed in Paris, in front of the Eiffel Tower 🇫🇷 — shared from our journey to WordCamp Europe 2025 in Basel

Back in Kathmandu, 2017, we dared to ask — what if students could build careers with WordPress? That question sparked a movement: Go with WP.

From school classrooms to podcast studios, from workshops to live site journeys — we’ve spent a decade mentoring the next generation of WordPress professionals in Nepal.

In 2025, we brought that story to Europe, not just as attendees — but as Co-organizers and Media Partners of WCEU Basel.
And in Paris, in front of one of the world’s greatest landmarks, we hit "record" to reflect on our journey.

💬 This isn’t just a highlight reel — it’s a reflection on:
– 10 years of organizing WordCamps
– Building sustainable community-led growth
– Why WordPress must evolve or risk becoming the next Kodak or Nokia
– The rise of AI, SaaS, WaaS and what it means for open-source platforms
– Creating real-world opportunities through education, contribution & creativity

💙 Thank you to every student, mentor, supporter, and contributor who’s been part of this journey.
Let’s keep building — from the hills of Nepal to the heart of the global community.

10 Years. Countless Lives Touched. One Mission. 💙Back in Kathmandu, Nepal, what started as a small spark of WordPress awareness for students has grown into ...

We recently hosted an inspiring program at Valley Public High School, Kathmandu, bringing together 100+ energetic students (Classes 9–12), dedicated teachers, and passionate mentors to explore the power of digital skills and online opportunities.

🎨 How passions can become digital projects and future careers
🔑 The difference between owning a digital platform vs. just using it
🗣️ Why digital education should be part of the school curriculum

To honor the spirit of open source and innovation, we celebrated the 22nd birthday of with a cake-cutting at Basantapur, one of Nepal’s most treasured heritage sites. 🎂✨

A big thank you to Subash Chaudhary Sir, our wonderful mentors Anita, Rohit & Manjit, and everyone who supported and inspired these young minds.

This is more than an event — it’s a movement to build a confident, creative, and digitally empowered generation in Nepal. 🌟

🎉 From Kathmandu to Basel – Taking the Next Generation of WordPress to the World! 🌍💙

Back in 2017, we began something bold in WordPress Kathmandu Meetup – going beyond traditional patterns and igniting WordPress Career Awareness among students.

Over the years, this effort evolved into what we called Go with WP (https://gowithwp.com/) — a movement shaped by so many passionate minds and helping hands, all committed to sharing what we’ve learned and building opportunities from the ground up.

From classroom counseling to hands-on workshops, from podcasts to full-blown "Build Your First Live Site" journeys, we believed in empowering the next generation through WordPress.

🚀 Fast forward to WordCamp Europe 2025 in Basel, where we joined as Co-organizers and Media Partners — and something incredible happened…

People from around the world were excited and inspired by the student-focused programs we're running in Nepal:
✅ Hands-on workshops for high school and college students
✅ Career mentorship through podcasts and contributor series
✅ Real-world site building with WordPress & WooCommerce
✅ Conversations about education, opportunity, and inclusivity
✅ Campus outreach celebrating WordPress's 22nd birthday 🎂 with 100+ school students!

💬 It was overwhelming and heartwarming to hear how many global contributors, organizers, and companies recognized and appreciated our efforts. Some even said our initiatives inspired the new official Campus Connect Program by WordPress! 🧑‍🎓🌐

🤝 We received:
✔️ Congratulations from community leaders
✔️ Encouragement to expand this movement globally
✔️ Support and sponsorship offers for future events

To everyone who believed in our mission – THANK YOU. 💙
To the new faces we met in Basel – Let’s build together. 🔗
To the students and mentors in Nepal – This is just the beginning. 🌱

📸 We'll be sharing a full video story soon from — the excitement, the connections, and the love for WordPress’s future generation!
