Looking for feedback

BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Theme Development Course Cohort Learning Pathway Development – We’re planning a cohort-based learning program focused on Block Theme Development, and before turning it into a full course, we want to build the learning pathway together with the community. Let’s do this together – https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3381. Thank you @devmuhib for this initiative!
We’re noticing a shortage of content creators in the Training Team. How can we encourage more dedicated content creators to join? Please share your ideas. It would be invaluable to have local content creators who can translate existing English content into their local languages.
We’re planning to organize a few workshops from the Training Team and would love your input. Which topics would be most valuable or relevant for you right now? Feel free to share any areas you want to learn more about so we can design workshops that truly meet your needs.

Maybe you can help us, or know someone who can review the content? Here is the short list:
