Overview

1. In order to support community review, please provide a brief description of your organization's work in the upcoming funding period.

Wikimedia Argentina will be focusing its annual plan strategy on improving and increase the professionalization of our programs by making them long-term sustainable. In this sense, we intend to develop and design actions in the long term but with specific and short-term results and impact. The proposal presented by WMAR is driven by four major strategic lines through which our three major programs will be developed. During 2015 we have learned a lot about our community, their needs, interests and our resources. In this sense, during 2016, WMAR will carry out a new program instead of our Federalization program, changed as a result of our learnings and failures. Also, WMAR priorities for 2016 will be: to strengthen and give continuity to our educational program with more sustainable activities, retain and strengthen relationships with cultural institutions in order to obtain better results and increase their involvement, and to empower, engage, involve and build a more inclusive community.
Wikimedia Argentina presents through this proposal a detailed description of their programs and projects. For each of the projects and activities WMAR has developed the necessary measuring rates and a project description to favor the understanding.
You can also find an estimate of WMAR's 2016 Global metrics and schedules for each program.

4. How does your organization know what community members / contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments or consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work?

Wikimedia Argentina works closely together with Wikimedia’s Spanish-speaking community. The main projects we work on are currently Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, although we plan to start putting a stronger emphasis on Wikivoyage and Wikisource. It is not by chance that we have placed our biggest efforts on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Earlier in 2015, Wikipedia Argentina conducted a survey with the idea to learn more about its community members, which activities motivate them and which projects they would like for Wikimedia Argentina to develop. The major part of the community members who responded to the survey (193 editors, given that the survey was presented only to those people who were logged in) worked frequently on Wikipedia, with 61.2% of them working to correct mistakes, 37.2% creating new articles, and 37.2% editing on specific topics. Of the total of users surveyed 33.9% contributed to Wikipedia a few times a year, while a remarkable 27.6% did so weekly.
Out of all the projects powered by Wikimedia Argentina, 67.3% would like to participate in the Education Program; 51% was interested in participating in projects within the GLAM Program (taking into account the answers related to GLAM and digitization of content), and 49% would like to take part in the Community Support initiative, right before the Federalization Program, which interested around 30% of the people surveyed.
The definition of these programs has not been coincidental either. Wikimedia Argentina is in close communication with its community. During this year 2015 we realized that we work with a plural community, meaning that if we want to scale up our projects outside the city of Buenos Aires, we need to count not only with editors –who on many occasions are reluctant to participate in our activities (29.8% of editors are not interested in collaborating with WMAR) - but also with volunteers, promoters, and users who feel they can get involved and put activities into action in their own contexts.
Wikimedia Argentina counts with three communities at present, two of them outside Buenos Aires. Our organization has a mailing list for the three communities, with which we are in contact on a daily basis. We work for and because of our volunteers and our community, so no event, project or activity is carried out without our previous attention and response to their concerns and questions.
Wikimedia Argentina holds monthly meetings with its Board. These meetings are open to the whole community, and travel allowances are paid for those community members who wish to attend. The same system of travel grants applies to our activities, which are open and free of charge, whenever a community member wants to participate in them.
In addition, during the formulation of our plan for 2016-2018 this year, we invited the community to give us their feedback through our discussion page (you can find the feedback here), and through a short survey (with little participation), which confirmed the interest of users and volunteers in respect of the programs we needed to promote. During 2015 we have also invited the community to join in our work groups. This proposal is still at very early stages, we are still in the process of validating information and organizing the groups, but it has become clear by already that approximately 70% of our 20 interested members would like to work on the Education Program, and the remaining 30% would like to participate in the GLAM Program.

Table 2 notes:

Programs: upcoming year's annual plan

Wikimedia Argentina will focus its strategy during 2015-2016 through 3 programs:

Programs

Education program

The Education Program, remains as one of the main programs of Wikimedia Argentina . No major changes in the formulation and program planning have been done, and after a year in which we strengthened alliances and we conducted projects and activities in an orderly manner, we have learned from the changes arising from the context in order to consolidate the program; focusing in long term projects, avoiding, isolated activities within the educational community.

In this sense , the strategic approaches to seek our Education program targets in 2015-2016 are:

Wikilabs: Incubator of experiences and educational practices within the Wikimedia projects.
Educational Edit-a-thons: Education project where students come in close contact with the history of their local contexts and contribute to the collective building of their historical memory. The building of historical memory as an educational line is strongly present in schools and classrooms.
Collective Experiences: Contests and editing challenges to improve the contests within Wikimedia projects
Wikiworkshops:Teachers as leading actors. We have hosted several editing workshops for teachers and actors of influence in the classroom to generate change, and to impulse Wikimedia projects. To design theses workshops we use the design thinking methodology.

GLAM program

The GLAM program remains as one of the main programs for Wikimedia Argentina too . During 2015 we have learned to focus our activities with cultural institutions as a way to improve our performance and generate long-term sustainable projects . Also, Wikimedia Argentina will encourage through its GLAM program the cross-cutting strategic line of construction of the historical memory of Argentina . This strategic line that also cross-cutting the Education program, defines much of our work , also through a new program's action: the EduGlam project.

Our GLAM objectives will be driven by the following strategic approaches:

Digitize, liberalization and creation of content : Activities driven by WMAR, Wikimedia community and cultural institutions in order to promote the release and of quality content to improve Wikimedia projects. Among the activities within this project we include photography contests, editing challenges, the digitizing project etc.
Strengthening cultural institutions: Strategic approach that aims to strengthen the cultural institutions we work with, through activities to improve their skills in the field of free culture.
Construction of the local culture : Strategic approach which aims to promote the construction of the local culture and identity in Argentina

Community Support program

The Community Support Program is the new program launched by Wikimedia Argentina for 2016. During 2015, we have analyzed the composition of our community and we have realized that beyond editors, Wikimedia Argentina’s community is wider and more diverse . We have also re-defined the meaning of the concept federalization and we have understood that the support to our projects can arrive from different spaces. Therefore, we will focus on working with existing communities and support initiatives that put them in value as well as encourage initiatives which will generate a more diverse and plural community and other projects and activities to empower WMAR's community aligned to our strategy .

During 2015-2016 our main objectives will be driven by the following strategic approaches :

Build community identity:To promote meeting spaces in the community as places where to strengthen ties and organize working groups to improve the projects carried out by WMAR.
Users and editors’ support: Support initiatives and trainings regarding users and editors’ needs, as our most important target groups.

Strategic lines

The four strategic lines within the programs are:

Participation and content: promoting larger participation in Wikimedia projects and increasing their content.
Promotion of Free Culture: raising awareness of the concept of free culture and the release of public domain archives.
Scaling up-Federalization: increasing community participation in projects of Wikimedia Argentina and improve the support provided by the organization to projects and initiatives carried out by volunteers , partners and other community members within Argentina.
Liberation and creation of content: Improving the number of material released and created to better articulate the programs and actions of Wikimedia Argentina

Long-term Education Program's target: scaling up program

Strategies for scaling up programs help us to visualize the long-term impact we want to achieve with our program and the actors needed for this purpose.
The proposed long-term WMAR's Education program can be defined as follows;

Following Jocelyn DeJong methodology, the scaling up of the Education program’s impact should be:

Long-term Education Program's target

	Strategy 1: Organizational expansion	Strategy 2: Catalysing Role	Strategy 3: Diffusion	Strategy 4: Influency policy	Strategy 5: Mainstreaming in Development
Main Objectives	Establishing solid partnerships with the organizations that collaborate with Wikimedia projects	Achieving steady participation from the actors involved	Promoting deeper and fuller knowledge of WMAR’s Education Project by encouraging active participation	Encouraging debate and becoming an articulation point in the change of education paradigms which is currently taking place in Argentina	WMAR’s Classroom Project, with Wikipedia as main project to engage active and steady participation from the education community
Type of organization involved	Wikimedia Argentina	The education community as a whole	The education community as a whole	The education community as a whole. The government as promoter of national policies for technological expansion	The education community and the national and local governments as a whole

Needs Assessments

“	My personal wish is to be able to think about schools not just as places where contents are transferred but also as places where knowledge is produced. How can we achieve this? Wikimedia projects and their methods of production give us some clues that we, as teachers, need to interpret through our didactic lens. Miriam Latorre, graduate in Education and tutor of the online course “bridges between school, digital and free cultures	”

Education Program's smart objectives & activities

Participation and content

Online Participation and content

Participation

Strategic objective: To encourage the participation of the education community through inclusive initiatives and proposals suited to their needs during the academic year 2015-2016.

Consolidating the role of educators as editors and creators of quality content for their region and for the global Wikimedia community.

600 hundred education experts trained on WMAR’s Education Program and other Wikimedia projects in three online courses during the academic year 2015-2016 (March to December).
At least 500 hundred education experts becoming new users of Wikipedia and 360 finished the virtual course in time and form.
To increase to 15 (now 8) the number of teachers involved in WMAR educational program after the virtual course, from June to October
To ensure that after the virtual course, at least 35 editors remain active 3 months later and 20 are active after 6 months.

Content

Strategic objective: To increase the quantity of content added directly by education experts to Wikipedia, Wikipedia Commons and other projects, as a result of their participation in virtual initiatives.

320 articles improved by education leaders as a result of their participation in the virtual courses organized during the school year 2015-2016.
At least 100 of these considered to be quality improved or created articles by WMAR standards.
Increasing the number of projects to 10 ready to be used in the classroom, designed by the participants in the virtual initiatives.

Online project: Online course

WMAR online course: Building bridges between school, digital and free cultures

This activity responds to WMAR’s strategic approach for the Education Program: Wikilabs^[2]

What is Wikimedia Argentina’s online course?

What constitutes a good distance-learning experience? How can the same content be suited for different educator profiles and contexts? These are some of the questions that guided Wikimedia Argentina through the process of producing, designing and creating a training proposal for teachers all over Latin America, back in 2014.
The course, initially conceived as an 8-week training event, redefined part of its objectives during 2015 to become a strategy to generate new and independent editors, where participants were introduced to Wikimedia projects and encouraged to involve in Wikipedia as active editors.

The course develops within a learning frame which is oriented towards two clear objectives:

For the education community to learn and take ownership of the Wikimedia Projects, generating an impact in teaching practices.
To encourage education leaders to become new editors of Wikipedia, consolidating as autonomous creators of quality content.

Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address?

Wikimedia Argentina’s online course was put forward after analyzing the demands received from the education community. Given the current context of technology immersion, Argentina is experiencing a change in the methodology and education paradigms, where educators are becoming the key actors in the new ways to build knowledge in the classroom.
We step away from educational proposals such as MOOCs, to offer a different type of online course with experienced tutors, where participants are guided all the way through the learning process, and where the focus is placed on editing Wikipedia and generating long-term commitment to the projects.
In this sense, the proposal responds to the action lines defined as solutions to the following contextual issues:

Objective	Issues addressed
To generate a sense of ownership and personal achievement which, in turn, has an impact on educational practices	Increasing and improving educator’s knowledge of Wikimedia projects and how to implement them in the classroom in practical terms
To facilitate the replicability of the knowledge and skills acquired in the course	Working locally to reach globally. Our proposal reached the whole territory of Argentina and extended to other Latin American countries
To create community	Establishing long term relationships and encouraging education leaders to take up a role as Wiki ambassadors of the Education Project
To provide flexible learning	Offering quality-driven evaluation, without the temporality and rigidity of common learning courses. Guaranteeing the sustainability of the proposal. The learning space understood as an incubator of ideas

2016's actions sum up

What's next?
• WMAR will maintain its educational proposal for teachers in the online course format. • WMAR plans to launch a second edition of the course, which will focus entirely on how to edit Wikipedia and its sister projects. • WMAR is working on the design of its first and new education platform, through which teacher proposals will be directed and courses will be designed and launched autonomously. At the same time, we aim to design and arrange new course proposals and make them available to the teaching community as required. • WMAR wants to impulse this proposal both at regional level and through the Iberocoop network. We are also working to make the project replicable globally.

Onsite Participation and content

Participation

Strategic Objective: To improve the participation of educators and students from higher education institutions and secondary schools, as a way to include WMAR’s Education Program in the daily curricula.

Engaging students and teachers in improving the content of Wikimedia projects

Training 100 secondary-school teachers during the first two semesters of the year, as a way to introduce WMAR’s education program in the classroom, from April to November 2016
700 hundred students directly or indirectly trained by their teachers and through WMAR activities, to improve students’ knowledge of Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons and their application as learning tools in the classroom between April and November 2016
At least 80 teachers and 550 students becoming new registered users

Promoting the construction of local patrimony and national identity in Argentina, through cultural and educational initiatives

200 students and 20 teachers participating in 4 education editathons from April to October, 2016
From this 200 hundred , at least 100 become new users in Wikipedia and 80 new users in Wikimedia Commons from April to October, 2016

Facilitating specialized instances of construction of knowledge in order to increase the amount of quality articles in Wikipedia.

Engaging 2 new institutions of higher education in our work, focusing on specific areas of knowledge, from March to August 2016
This would mean at least 50 new university students involved in editing projects, at least 35 of them new users.

New volunteers from our current community involved as trainers

To increase from 12 to 18 the number of volunteers coming from our current community as trainees in educational workshops

Content

Strategic objective: To improve the quality and quantity of the content in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons

High School

At least 100 new articles created or improved by 300 students through at least 5 specific and strategic edition contests within the secondary schools around the country from May to November, mainly.
At least 50 articles considered quality articles by Wikimedia Argentina quality standards
At least 100 students improve 150 articles by adding images to them through our annual contest launched in September 2016

University

At least 100 articles created or improved by the students of higher education from May to October 2016
10 to 20 students remaining active editors in the 3 months following the workshops, and 5 still active after 6 months

Educational Edith-a-tons

At least 4 educational edithathons carried from April to October, that will mean at least 20 articles improved or created and 50 new images uploaded
Retaining 3 students as active editors 6 months after the education editathons

Onsite project 1: face-to-face trainings

Changing the approach to face-to-face training

This activity is linked to the following strategic approach planned within WMAR’s Education Program: Wikiworkshops and Education Edith-a-tons^[2]

WMAR will continue to push onsite training of teachers and students as a means to articulate the implementation in classrooms of at least two projects: Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. During 2016 we will cease isolated training events, framing our training activities within specific projects instead. Such activities will be aimed at future educators, teachers and students from stable counterparts and will focus on improving participation and increasing the amount of quality content within each project.

From this point of view, each project will have a duration of 3 months and will be developed in three stages, established before the start of the activities.

Training courses for educators from secondary schools, universities and teacher-training institutions	Training of participating ICT experts	Implementation of an edition project powered by teachers and carried out through a network of students (contests/specific editing challenges/photo contests/ translating challenges suited to each particular context and school levels)^[4]
Identification of leading ICT students	Training support for teachers and ICT experts in the classroom	Final evaluation of the activity

University strategy

Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3
To train teachers and students, all at once through one workshop	Define the activity and the content that is going to be worked with WMAR support	To develop an specific activity according their interests and needs that would mean an improvement of content in any Wikimedia project

Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address?

This training project responds to the needs detected by WMAR along the course of our work in different education environments. The issues we have come across are similar and common to most educational institutions: a lack of knowledge of Wikimedia projects and of the possibilities of their implementation in the classroom. In view of these issues we have come to the following conclusions:

Isolated training activities improve the knowledge of teachers, but this knowledge is not necessarily applied in the classroom
There is no correlation between content and teacher training. On the contrary, there is correlation between trained teachers and intention to implement a project based on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons in the classroom
Those projects which keep students involved in activities show faster progress and generate better results in terms of numbers

Considering the above, we believe that institutionalizing the Training project will promote:

Objective	Issues addressed
Generating stable relationships with educational institutions at all levels	It allows us to offer different content in the teacher training courses, separating these courses from the activities in our strategic line of free culture awareness
Generating editing projects that can be applied in teaching environments	It stops teacher training courses being isolated and sporadic activities
Consolidating the number of counterparts in the Education Program	It generates a stable work network with our counterparts
Engages students as actors in the creation of content	It provides a balanced response to the need and requirement of teachers and students to belong to and identify with a project

2016's actions sum up

What's next?
WMAR will continue to channel the actions carried out with its counterparts through this training project. WMAR will work towards specific actions and results, in agreement with those counterparts which have already received training, generating stable work relations and becoming a point of reference in the country. WMAR’s plan is to design actions and offer activities suited to the needs of educators and students, involving them actively and considering their particular contexts and realities. WMAR aims to reach partnership agreements with 2 new universities, contributing to the qualitative and quantitative improvement of the content of Wikimedia projects.

Onsite project 2: Cross cutting programs: EduGlam proposal, building a culture of memory in Argentina

Education Edit-a-thons

This activity responds to WMAR’s strategic approach for the Education Program: Education Edit-a-thons^[2]

Cross cutting programs: EduGlam
Wikimedia Argentina has been working on analyzing the interests, reality and needs of its local context during 2015. Bringing memory back to society has had as an immediate consequence in terms of revaluating Argentina’s social and cultural Patrimony.
Apart from our classic Education and GLAM projects we are now promoting activities which link education and promotion of culture in order to reach new participants and introduce them to culture and to social responsibility and citizenship.
We have been working on redefining the scope of editathons and reformulating them as educational and cultural activities which have been of great importance for Wikimedia Argentina. The change in the paradigm has been remarkable. Defining a new strategic line of work, such as the creation of spaces for the construction of memory, is a priority for WMAR as a means to continue our work in a more organized and consistent manner. In this sense, educational edithatons are already showing very satisfactory results as great spaces to engage new and future editors.

The reasons why we are introducing a new strategic line in Education and GLAM projects are:

Building the cultural and historical memory in Argentina is a strategic objective that crosscuts the cultural agenda and the educational curricula.
The national and jurisdictional policies of the model 1:1 (one computer for one student) introduced by National Decree in 2010, has improved the possibility of accessing knowledge through the necessary tools in order to reduce the digital breach, and the creation of same opportunities for everyone at social level.
In terms of cultural policies, the government has started to highlight and give relevance to human rights and Argentine memory construction.
To improve educational and cultural results by organizing activities with both institutions at the same time, as a way to coordinate the limited resources.

Education Edit-a-thon
Education edit-a-thons are included in the strategic action plan of our Education Program. In 2014, Wikimedia Argentina started implementing this activity which, mainstreamed by the strategic line of GLAM projects –to support the construction of Argentina’s national identity-, meant that for the first time, the strictness of cultural institutions was broken to allow students to take active part in them. Our plan for 2016 is to continue to power actions which favor the interaction of cultural institutions with educators and students.
The project calls for museums and archives to become spaces where students, guided by their teachers, can build knowledge through the historical patrimony guarded by these institutions. <br<

The project, which we will continue to impulse in 2016, responds to the following objectives:

To make the most of the potential of museums and archives as learning resources, bringing these spaces closer to the classroom or turning them into “classrooms”, as places where knowledge can be found, produced and built in a joint manner.
To position cultural and historical heritage, by highlighting local cultural patrimony in Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons thanks to the intervention of students supported by WMAR.
To generate a community of younger new editors.

Indirectly, WMAR also aims to:

Put cultural institutions into value as learning environments.

Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address?

Education editathons are also part of WMAR’s response to the demands in matters of diversity:
Education editathons have become a good strategy to attract students from every social background, sharing the same educational resources and working in similar contexts.

They have also been our strategic answer to the similarities found in the demands from school and cultural contexts.

Education editathons constitute the practical application of a line of action which governs both the Education and GLAM programs: they reflect the adaptability of our strategy to different contexts.

Objective	Issues addressed
To increase to potential of use of museums and archives, bringing these resources closer to the classrooms, or turning them into “classrooms”, spaces where knowledge can be found, produced and built in a joint manner	It helps highlighting and improving the existing knowledge of the local patrimony through the intervention of students, facilitating the collective construction of the Argentine identity
To bring cultural and historical heritage to the front, by highlighting local cultural patrimony in Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons, thanks to the intervention of students supported by WMAR	It links the Education and GLAM projects through a common strategic line, making it possible for students and teachers to work with material of cultural value with the objective of generating contents in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons
Generating a community of younger new editors	It introduces young users to editing Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, with the aim to increase the number of editors of the Wikimedia projects in Spanish

2016's actions sum up

What's next?
Wikimedia Argentina will organize 4 education edith-a-tons during 2016, with an expected participation of 500 students. The counterparts involved will be the cultural institutions with which WMAR currently works -5 in total-, and the local government counterparts supporting the GLAM program. Establishing common objectives for the GLAM and Education programs is a strategy which we will continue to use in response to the local context, pushing for the interaction between younger users, the tools provided through the national programs of technology immersion, and the local patrimony, with the aim to boost the number of new editors. Our work with schools will continue to be carried out through the national government in the frame of the Conectar Igualdad program. This program will be oriented towards strengthening social inclusion and supporting cultural diversity. The construction of the national identity is mainstreamed by this activity, through the promotion of cultural institutions powered by the GLAM program.

To retain our existing students Wiki ambassadors in Buenos Aires and Misiones, and to gain ambassadors in at least one new region and schools in Argentina.
To retain 5 of the 80 student editors during the school year 2015-2016.

Wikiambassadors' project

Building a network of Wikipedian ambassadors in matters of education

This activity responds to the strategic approach of WMAR’s Education Program: Collective experiences^[2]. This activity is linked to the objectives and results expected for the Onsite Training project.

During 2015 Wikimedia Argentina put forward a program of Wikipedian ambassadors of the Education Program. To date, 8 experts in education from schools and universities in the country have promoted projects within the classroom with the objective to improve the content and increase student participation in Wikimedia projects. Our proposal, which is new in many of the educational institutions approached, is a break through the existing education paradigms, a trend that we have observed in Argentina since 2010. The vast geographical extension of Argentina makes it necessary for us to use this type of strategy, which despite being designed to sort out geographic limitations, serves also to provide a solid basis for the future development of the Education program creating a network of collaborators which is sustainable long-term.
Students collaborating as Wikipedian ambassadors, as well as ICT leading students, are also starting to play this role. They are our actors in the local context and the channels that WMAR supports to spread the Education Program and ensure the replicability of its projects.

The objectives and main characteristics of the project can be defined like this:

To promote free culture awareness through the word of recognized education experts among the education community.
To involve teachers in the Education Program as promoters and points of reference for its diffusion.
To link teachers’ work and active participation by students as promoters of activities within the classroom, with proposals agreed upon by consensus.

Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address?

WMAR aims to generate programs which are sustainable. The sustainability of the Education Program depends largely on its replicability and the fact that it can be applied as reference in different types of education institutions throughout the country. With objectives which are similar to our proposal for Onsite Training where we aim at identifying and training potential ambassadors, this strategic line mainstreams each of the projects powered within the Education Program.

Considering the above, we believe that institutionalizing the Training project will promote:

Objective	Issues addressed
To promote free culture awareness through the word of education leaders among the education community	Improving the existing knowledge about free culture and Wikimedia projects among students
To involve teachers in the Education Program as promoters of its activities and points of reference for its diffusion	Improving the knowledge about our Education Program. Implementing projects in the classroom through specific activities which bring an improvement to the contents of Wikimedia projects
To link teachers’ work and active participation by students as promoters of activities within the classroom, with proposals agreed upon by consensus	Legitimizing classroom activities which encourage student participation, as actors and producers of knowledge in Wikimedia projects, in particular in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons

2016's actions sum up

What's next?
WMAR will continue to work with teaching experts and students with the objective to introduce the Education Program in classrooms. WMAR will work in a suitable, contextualized manner according to the reality of each of the collaborating institutions, with the aim to improve the content of Wikimedia projects in terms of quality and quantity, through specific actions. By involving teachers and students in the coordination and implementation of the program, WMAR seeks to consolidate and grant sustainability to the Education Program. WMAR’s proposal for 2016 is to consolidate the program with an improvement focused on results rather than the total number of institutions involved.

Positioning Wikimedia Argentina

Positioning Wikimedia Argentina in the public agenda

One of the priorities of the organization is to position Wikimedia Argentina’s Education Program. Through specific on-site activities, WMAR proposes to improve the existing knowledge about free culture and impulse the Education Program, aiming at approaching potential collaborating institutions, potential ambassador teachers and future new younger editors. Likewise, we are working to be the educational referent on free culture and to establish Wikimedia as the organization that promotes free culture in the region and throughout Argentina.
In this regard, our objectives can be defined as follows:

To consolidate the position of WMAR’s Education Program as a referent in strategic spaces.
To sustainably build and broaden the network of WMAR contacts related to the Education Program.
To generate and build debate about free culture in educational environments in Argentina.

Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Working in the promotion and diffusion of free culture is the necessary previous step, although not sufficient, to achieve a consistent implementation of WMAR’s Education Program within institutions and in diverse educational environments.

Considering the above, we believe that institutionalizing the Training project will promote:

Objective	Issues addressed
To consolidate the position of WMAR’s Education Program as a referent in strategic spaces	Strategically raising awareness of the concept of free culture and WMAR’s Education Program in diverse educational environments
To sustainably build and broaden the network of WMAR contacts, related to the Education Program	Building a network of contacts, experts in education, who help us promote the program and its related projects
To generate and build debate on free culture in educational environments in Argentina	Institutionalizing WMAR as advisor and generator of debate on free culture in Argentina

2016's actions sum up

What's next?
Approaching 5 education related institutions to create awareness on free culture, the Education Program and how they can be used in projects and activities in the classroom. Promoting WMAR in its functions as a reference organization for free culture within educational contexts and as a link with government institutions. Establishing WMAR as a point of reference in the generation of debate on free culture in the country. Promoting our work in the Education Program among reference educational environments. Networking and generating new alliances in educational organizations, alliances that help us guarantee the correct functioning and sustainability of the Education Program

At least 3 new learning pattens created and shared about Wikimedia Argentina experience in education from May to November, 2016.

Towards a sustainable program

Educational support for a sustainable program

WMAR’s main objective is the sustainability of the Education Program; not only measured by the quantity of content generated, but also by the quality of the promoted projects and activities. Quality can be measured by the level of appropriation of the projects among the teaching community.
During 2015, WMAR has developed several educational resources aimed at improving the understanding and use of Wikimedia educational projects. Nevertheless, we believe it is necessary to put our educational resources in context, generating spaces where teachers can participate in the creation of such resources, making our work proposals accessible and adapted to the educational reality.
During 2016, WMAR is going to impulse a gamified project to be implemented in the classroom. This way of bringing Wikipedia and all of WIkimedia’s projects into the classroom, requires a contextualization of our resources through a better understanding of the reality of the recipients.
Our objectives then are as follows:

To establish a platform of educational content, which will be accessible at any time and will be exclusive to Wikimedia Argentina.
To develop “education itineraries” for the projects in the Education Program that encourage the appropriation of the activities by teachers and students and adapt to school and universities’ contexts.
To generate material that can be extrapolated to the whole Spanish speaking Wikimedia community and translated to the global community.
To adapt the content of our projects to the contextual reality of educational institutions in Argentina, favoring the participation of students.

Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Providing support material is essential for our education activities, in order to draw a line of work for students and educational referents who are internalizing Wikimedia Argentina’s activities or who are promoting actions arising from the concepts contained in our Education Program.

Objective	Issues addressed
. To establish a platform of educational content, which will be accessible at any time and will be exclusive to Wikimedia Argentina	Having an educational platform that belongs solely to Wikimedia Argentina, strengthens our work in the field of education. It breaks with our current dependence on online courses, offering the possibility for users to access educational material at any time, thus contributing to the creation of a community
To develop “educational itineraries” for the projects in the Education Program that encourage the appropriation of the activities by teachers and students and adapt to school and universities’ contexts	It facilitates the assimilation of the WMAR projects by educators
To generate material that can be extrapolated to the whole Spanish speaking Wikimedia community and translated to the global community	It positions WMAR’s projects as generators of quality educational proposals
To adapt the content of our projects to the contextual reality of educational institutions in Argentina, favoring the participation of students	It improves the suitability of the content of Wikimedia projects to the educational community, all through specific proposals aimed at implementing activities in accordance with WMAR’s objectives in matters of education

2016's actions sum up

What's next?
During 2016, WMAR plans to develop new manuals for teachers and students, to be used and that stand for the activities in the classroom. WMAR will develop a new educational proposal based on the gamification of Wikipedia, in order to adapt to the needs and contexts of schools and to improve the content of the Encyclopedia and Wikimedia Commons, as well as to encourage the participation of new editors. WMAR will develop its own educational platform, where users will find educational resources, virtual courses and learning guides, as well as becoming a space for construction of our community. WMAR will create new material that can be used by Iberocoop, the Spanish-speaking community, and that can be translated for the global community
