ESEAP Strategy Summit 2025/Program

Program

The ESEAP Strategy Summit is a three-day workshop for Wikimedians in the ESEAP region to discuss topics related to the Movement Strategy and the ESEAP Hub.

The ESEAP Strategy Summit does not have program submissions, unlike the related biennial ESEAP Conference. Instead, discussion topics and work will be focused on general objectives, namely the discussion of the ESEAP region, the ESEAP Hub, Movement Strategy, the Theory of Change, and others. The exact topics to be discussed are being determined by the ESEAP Preparatory Council in collaboration with the Summit's Programme team, and will be provided here when completed. A facilitator will assist attendees in ensuring maximal participation between everyone involved.

Objectives

The general objectives of the summit is as follows:

Provide an avenue for follow-up and status review of the current ESEAP Region's strategic direction based on the previous Summits' conversations.
Create open and engaging community discussions and nurture future cross-cultural collaborations among countries in the ESEAP Region.
Become a venue for community members to have a conversation with some of the members of Movement Strategy Working Groups so they could guide participants on matters or concerns that surfaced in their working group conversations in general and scoping documents in particular. This includes but is not limited to, providing clarifications, giving sample future scenarios, and sharing their work experience in their designated working groups.
Develop a support structure for Wikimedia communities and volunteers in terms of organizing, volunteer engagement, and technical challenges.

You can expect the program to be centered around following these objectives.
