Title:
- The Wikimedia Movement Strategy and You: What Are the Recommendations and What Can You Do About Them?
Theme:
- Relationship Building & Support
Type of session:
- Workshop
Abstract:
You may have heard that there were 9 international working groups comprised of volunteers and staff from across our Movement working over the past year and a half on recommendations around thematic areas that will shape the future of our Wikimedia Movement. A first draft of the recommendations was shared prior to Wikimania in August 2019. After online and in-person discussions, a second iteration was developed by the working groups and shared in September 2019. This second iteration is where we are now: 89 recommendations at varying lengths and depths developed by the movement for the movement. Over the next few months these 89 recommendations will be made into one coherent set, to once again share with the movement and subsequently move towards implementation; with diversity and inclusivity to approach our strategic direction and the goals of Knowledge Equity and Knowledge as a Service.
This session will focus on sharing an update on where the process is now, how we got here, and how best we can plan the next steps, especially with regards to engaging with our movement.
