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 the Wikimedia movement working over the past year and a half to develop recommendations around thematic areas that will shape the future of our movement. With a great deal of effort, research and conversations with communities, the first draft of the recommendations was developed by the working groups and shared prior to Wikimania in August 2019. After online and in-person discussions, a second iteration was prepared and shared in September 2019.

This second iteration is where we are now: 89 recommendations at varying lengths and depths, with many overlapping elements and points of convergence, developed by the movement for the movement. Over the next few weeks, these 89 recommendations will be brought into one coherent set, to once again share with the movement and subsequently move towards implementation for our 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 through engagement across our movement.
