Summary
During 2018, WMAR’s Education Program has achieved the following results:
- We consolidated Wikipedia as an educational tool in the classroom at all educational levels.
- We consolidated Wikipedia as a tool for social impact, engaging researchers and experts in order to make these issues visible at a regional scale.
- Support a community of leading educators to continue growing at a national level.
Side effect: The Argentinean context
During 2018, Argentina went through a great education conflict that brought the debate about the reduction of the education budget and its multiple consequences to the public agenda. We know that educators are key players in this conflict, both in schools and universities. This context made us design new ways to approach our work, and specially our bond with the local education community. This is we have focused on strengthening alliances with diverse education organizations to address the existing education gaps at a national and regional level by organizing online and offline new projects, according to the educator's needs.
The Education Program in Argentina
[edit]
Success: Wikipedia as a learning tool
[edit]
A) Onsite learning: Editing clubs and Wikipedia in the University
During 2018, we carried out our onsite learning program by strenghtening our two projects for the Argentinean classrooms: Editing Clubs and Wikipedia in the University. Both proposals have a similar objective: getting educators and students involved in the construction of missing and locally relevant quality knowledge.
Likewise, they have their own features as follows:
How have we organized the activities in 2018?
|
Editing Clubs
Due to the budget reduction carried out by the national Ministry of Education, the project was modified to the 2018's context as follows:
|
Wikipedia in the University
|
Despite the context, our projects were carried out in 24 institutions from 8 provinces around Argentina. Comparing to 2017 ( 11 institutions and 6 province) we increase the reach of our program by 13% and we have involved +200% new partners, a great symptom of the program's adaptability to the context. You can find the full list of partners here
Which have been the most important qualitative results and learnings?
- Strengthening and working directly with educational institutions without gubernamental help is key when undergoing a major crisis.
- Within the Editing Clubs, organizing onsite editing workshops involving students is very valuable and is emphasized by many teachers as a significant experience for the students.
- The consolidation of a network of university teachers is essential to expand the proposal with other colleagues. In 2018 we worked with 14 different universities around the country.
- 74% of the articles edited were of quality. We generated significant improvements in topics like paleontology, journalism and photojournalism, colonial history, criminal law, education, local history, among others.
- Almost 50% of the participants in the activities were women. 80% of them expressed feeling comfortable during the activities.
B) Remote learning: Wikipuentes in Paraguay
In 2018 we set 3 goals regarding Wikipuentes:
- Continue developing Wikipuentes in Argentina to reach teachers from all over the country.
- Implement the project in Paraguay partnering with key actors.
- Accompany the development of the virtual course in LATAM, as was the case of the implementation of the Wikipuentes MOOC by Wikimedia Chile.
In this sense, during 2018 we carried out Wikipuentes in Paraguay to strengthen the culture and its native language, the Guaraní. The main reasons why choosing Paraguay have been:
- We could articulate with benchmark educational institutions in Paraguay.
- We counted with the support of institutions that provided free internet access.
- There was already a teacher's network built with whom expand the program locally.
- There aren't a editors community. Our project there could impact in a potential new editor's community.
How did we do it?
- We identify and partnered with a strategic local organization that had already a community of engaged teachers.
- Because Paraguay does not have an active community of editors, a semi-face-to-face dynamic was proposed. To the traditional virtual proposal we added two face-to-face workshops that involved +60 participants.
- Beyond the Spanish Wikipedia the main objective was to edit in Guaraní. For this, we had the support of tutors who accompanied the editions.
|
Which have been our main results in Paraguay?
|
What have we achieved in the 8 editions of Wikipuentes?
|
Despite the results, we still have great challenges. One of the main ones is to continue building a community of editors in Paraguay. In 2019 we will continue working with different projects and alliances in the country in order to build a more inclusive and diverse movement.

Gating factor: An Education program in a context of crisis
[edit]The political and economic situation in Argentina changes dramatically year after year. This fluctuating reality is very present in the design of our projects, since part of the annual planning has to take into account the possibility of losing counterparts halfway along the project, facing indefinite strikes in schools and mass layoffs.
In order to avoid as much as possible this context and be able to respond to the demands of the education community too, during 2018 we developed some strategies:
- Flexibility: all the projects designed are flexible enough to be implemented with or without large institutional partners - as educational ministries - in Argentina. Our projects respond to the teacher's demands with clear goals and activities that can directly be implemented by them. That has given us the opportunity to continue working and get similar results.
- Offer tailor-made activities: Using surveys, interviews and teacher's feedbacks, we mapped the subjects on which educators would like to work in the classrooms, so we can offer projects that adapt to their needs.
- Personalized monitoring: We offered online and in-person follow-up, and workshops in our offices and in education institutions.
- New and better resources: We created specific websites to spread the work and the experiences we have had, with resources and materials so that educators have access to free information and can develop the activities in their classrooms around Argentina.
- Innovative trainings: The decrease of the educational budget means is also reflected in the lack of opportunities for teacher's training. Organizing innovative training workshops respond not only to their demands but allow us to improve the reach of the program.
However, the context still affect our planning. Keeping the flexibility also in our agenda and alternate our onsite and our online projects depending on the context is fundamental to deliver good results.
Education & Rights
[edit]
Success: Wiki Human Rights in Latin America
[edit]During 2018, we carried out the Wiki Derechos Humanos (Wiki Human Rights) project, expanding the project at a Latin American scale. The project was supported by the Open Society Foundations and the Embassy of Canada. We have been present in seven countries of the region: Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Paraguay, Argentina and Venezuela.
How did we develop the project during 2018?
- Along with our partners, we mapped the content gaps regarding Human Rights to create an improve content in Wikipedia. We have expanded the topics depending the local contexts and realities.
- In every context, we organized specific editing workshops on how to edit with a Human Right's perspective to ensure the quality of the content.
- We have involved different audiences - public in general, experts, researchers, students etc and managed to engage key players to sustain the experience beyond the edit-a-thons in each country.
- We have fostered a regional network involving organizations, universities, journalists etc in order to expand the project to other countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.
- We have created resources - a website, tutorials, online trainings etc- to disseminate and spread the project even beyond LATAM.
What results did we achieve?
- We organized 9 edit-a-thons improving 279 articles, 90 of them new (70% of quality). The content updated was consulted +1.580.000 times.
- Over 388 experts on Human Rights, researchers and students were trained. 80% were new editors.
- We have developed the project together with 5 universities of the región: University of Los Andres (Bogotá), University of Antioquía (Medellín), University of El Claustro de Sor Juana (Mexico City), University of Playa Ancha (Chile), University of Buenos Aires (Argentina).
- We partnered with 12 new organizations which are the main Human Rights organizations in LATAM as el Museo de la Memoria in Chile, Amnesty International, Parque de la Memoria in Argentina, The Institute of Human Right's Public Policy of Mercosur, the Canada Embassy, the Agencia Presentes, among others.
- We expand the topic to new ones like LGBT+ Rights in Paraguay and Argentina involving 65 people -transgender, non-binary etc - and improving +40 articles.
Main results
| Target | Last year (if applicable) | Progress (at end of Q2) | End of year (projected or actual) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 wikiDDHH edit-a-thons | n/a | 4 | 9 | n/a |
| 200 articles improved | n/a | 160 | 279 | n/a |

Side effect: Side effect: LATAM edits on LGBT+ content
Wiki DDHH demands commitment, responsibility and strategic partners to carry out a truly collective work proposal. In September 2018, we evaluated that Wiki Human Rights could expand its work to issues related to the history of the LGBT + collective. That is why we present the project to the Fund for Local Initiatives of the Embassy of Canada. The proposal was designed together with the LGBT+ Regional News Agency Presentes, to work in Argentina and Paraguay. In this context, we identified that the existing Wikipedia content on the subject needed to be worked under Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law standards, as well as organizing activities to update the information and provide new tools to the LGBT+ collective, to visualize and build their own history. So far in the project, we have trained 65 journalists and LGBT+ people in Buenos Aires and Asunción (Paraguay).
|
Why do we do the things we do?
[edit]- We work on consolidating Wikipedia as a reliable educational tool to promote access to free knowledge in educational institutions and to construct missing and locally relevant quality content.
- Teachers are the key to carry out our activities. For that reason, we adapt our proposals to their needs and work on the consolidation of a teacher's network who can lead the projects.
- Content gaps regarding Human Rights are still big. With our project, we improve these content as well as reaching new audiences and engaging with new partners as a way increase the diversity of the movement, involve missing voices and build our own history from the Global South.
Culture and Open Knowledge Program

Summary
During 2018, the Culture & Open Knowledge Program has been redefined beyond GLAM. For that purpose, we have designed new projects in accordance with our context. These projects have pursued the following objectives:
- Promoting diversity of content in the Wikimedia projects.
- Consolidating the Wikimedia projects as reliable sources of information within Argentine society.
- Positioning Argentine culture within the Wikimedia projects.
Culture & Global South
[edit]
Success: Building a cultural program in the global South
[edit]Our great objective in 2018 was to design a Culture Program that could adapt to the Argentine context, to its opportunities and also to its challenges, which can be defined as follows:
- Argentine society is socially very active about the issues in the public agenda that appeal to it.
- Argentine society demands access to reliable and current information.
- Culture is constructed through non-traditional channels and lacks of budget. The Ministry of Culture ceased to exist in August 2018.
In this context, we have designed a program to turn these challenges into opportunities in the following way:
a) Adapting our lines of work to the context
Context is key. Adapting our work to it, it's fundamental because:
- It helps us reach to new audiences and new cultural communities as part of the program.
- It consolidates us as a benchmark organization in strategic fields.
- It allows us to improve diverse content in the Wikimedia projects.
During 2018, we worked on two big issues of the Argentine public agenda:
|
a) Gender & Science We have continued working to narrow the gender gap in Wikipedia. During 2018 we improved + 2000 articles through initiatives such as La Mujer que nunca conociste or edit-a-thons. However, one of our most important works has been the one we have done on gender and science. The main reasons behind are:
How did we work? During 2018, we worked on gender and science in the following way:

In this sense, during 2018 we promoted two new projects:
What results did we achieve, beyond the numbers?
|
Gating factor: Scope and Impact
[edit]Redefining the program was fundamental to adapt it to our context. Although we consider ourselves to be on the right track, we still have a series of challenges to face:
- Defining the scope: the program has expanded its work beyond the traditional cultural institutions.This opened us a new world of opportunities where we must identify with whom to work, for what and what results could we expect. However, since it is continuously redefining and redesigning itself, we are still laying out which are our best audiences. Likewise, the new Strategic Direction is helping us to define in a more concrete way the scope of the program and to establish priorities.
- Impact: Many of our new projects were pilots so the impact was a little uncertain. Our challenge today is to consolidate these projects within the program and their impact. For this to happen, we are currently working - along with strategic partners - to scale them by defining too the results expected in a clearer way.
Success: Working with GLAM partners in the Global South
[edit]Working with traditional cultural institutions (GLAM) is still one of WMAR’s greatest objectives, despite our context:
- Cultural institutions lack resources.
- This entails adapting the program to the reality of each institution.
To overcome these difficulties during 2018 we focused our strategy in the following way:
|
Working with librarians seems a natural strategy for the Wikimedia movement, but in the case of WMAR, it responds to the following reality:

b) Large cultural institutions One of our main objectives is still to work with large Argentine cultural institutions. This, which we promote mainly through our digitization project, is complex but at the same time necessary because:
How did we work in 2018?
Our results in 2018 were the following:
|
Gating factor: Challenges within the large cultural institutions
[edit]The conditions of the state bodies are light-years away from the ideal circumstances to undertake policies of open knowledge in which Wikimedia Argentina can have a decisive role. So while we are trying to position a program:
- The generational change has not yet taken place and we continue working with cultural managers who promote private archives and not open knowledge.
- Fear of the unknown: when working with people who are not familiar with online platforms, we need to forge bonds of trust so they let us work with innovative technologies.
- Lack of infrastructure: the economic situation in Argentina changes every year and not in a good way. The cultural institutions does not have budget to invest in infrastructure (trainings and technology) and have obsolete technology, which make our work difficult.
- Lack of human resource: the institutions don't have enough people to work with new projects and they are limited in their currents workflows.
Why do we do the things we do?
[edit]- Going beyond GLAM and expanding the concept of culture has allowed us to build a more diverse program that addresses new topics much more appropriate to our context.
- The Wikimedia projects are key to rebuild how the history of the Global South's communities is presented in Internet as well as a tool to strengthen the freedom of information within society. This not only constructs a more diverse movement but also affects who spreads knowledge and where from.
- Equality is key to understand our program. We do not make a difference between large and small cultural institutions or cultural communities, neither regarding their heritage.
Community Building Program
[edit]
.jpg)
Summary
In 2018, the Community Building Program has focused on strengthening the existing community and generating new strategic communities. In this sense, the activities we carried out reinforce our objectives for 2018:
- To expand and build a motivated community as part of WMAR
- Supporting and promoting the emergence of new themed communities organized around the objective of editing with purpose.
- Defining new volunteer's opportunities to build a more diverse and inclusive community.
Building communities
[edit]Success: Consolidating & Diversifying Communities
[edit]In order to strengthen, diversify and involve new volunteers as part of WMAR and the Wikimedia movement, during 2018 we have worked:
|
a) Long-standing communities
|
|
b) Themed Communities Since 2017 we began to organize our volunteers in thematic communities according to their interests. This has allowed us:
|
What results did we achieve, beyond the numbers?
- Improving the retention & engagement: organizing the communities around themes of their interest and based on mutual support and trust, has been proved to increase the retention.
- Reach: we have managed to support and strengthen a well establish community outside Buenos Aires. This, that we found difficult to do a year a go, is now one of our greatest learnings for building future communities beyond Buenos Aires.
- New leaders: we have identified 10 new leaders within the communities - people that organize and carry out new projects and activities. 70% women.
Main results:
| Target | Last year (if applicable) | Progress | End of year (projected or actual) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 new thematic communities | 2 | 2 | 2 | n/a |
| Number of project supported (5) | n/a | 7 | 10 | n/a |
| Thematic meetings | n/a | 11 | 16 | n/a |
| Articles created/ improved -800 | n/a | 2541 | 69,117 | Mainly in Commons
|
| 30 active/new members involved | n/a | 64 | 88 | n/a |
| 35 members granted/mentored | n/a | 21 | 32 | n/a |
| 80% feels supported by WMAR | n/a | 80% | 85% | n/a |
Gating factor: Federalization & Journalists
[edit]While organizing around thematic communities has improved how and in what way we build the WMAR community, each community has its own times and ways of functioning. In this sense we continue to face challenges such as:
- Federalization: our country is very large territorially and the distances are very large from one province to another. Our great challenge is to generate communities outside of Buenos Aires. After two years of work we can say that there is an established community on the coast, but we still have a lot of work to do.
- Journalists: we have trained journalists and organized meetings however we are still struggling to get them involved in an active editor role. Even though we have done a great job in changing how they understand Wikipedia and how can they use it, we want to really organize a stable community. So far this has been difficult for their availability to attend our meetings. We are currently organizing specific projects and exploring other ways to engage them, as per example, starting to work with smaller media and journalists from outside Buenos Aires, who are more open to participate in our projects.
Diversifying volunteers
[edit]Success: New volunteers roles
[edit]One of our main objectives for 2018 was consolidating our definition of what we understand as a volunteer in WMAR for the following reasons:
- the traditional model of the Global North volunteer adapts neither to our local reality, nor to our times, nor to our way to build knowledge and communities.
- Confusing wikipedists with wikimedists is a big mistake. At least in the WMAR community, these are -in many cases- very different profiles.
- Defining the profiles of our volunteers allows us to diversify our community and value everybody’s participation in an equal manner.
- Building new spaces for participation guarantees more and better retention and a sense of belonging to the community.
What did we do in 2018?
Understanding that there is a big difference between wikipedists and wikimedists allows us, as an organization, to include new volunteers at the same level of the long-standing community. That is why during 2018, we redefined the role of volunteers, opening new opportunities in the following way:
- Liaison: people who help us forge strategic alliances to work in pursuit of free knowledge.
- Changemakers: people who lead projects about free culture in their work spaces.
- Advocators: people and organizations who, using their leadership, disseminate the work we promote.
These new profiles have the following characteristics:
- they are committed to free culture and their incorporation in Argentina.
- they are committed to the construction of the recent and historical memory of Argentina.
- they are committed to addressing the content gaps in the Wikimedia projects.
- In case of being editors, they mainly edit about current issues.
During 2018, these profiles allowed us to work in the following way:
|
a) Gaining access to new audiences and generating new strategic alliances
In 2018 we organized new thematic encounters - Barra Libre- with the aim of building a more diverse community with new active members. Particulary, we promote these encounters to:
What results did we achieve?
|
b) Positioning the Wikimedia projects in the workflow others organizations. Generating alliances with leading organizations in Argentina has allowed us to position Wikimedia projects as part of their work. This is strategic because:
These has translated in participating in new projects - 3 hackathons- with the following results:
|
|
Side effect: Positioning women in sports in Wikipedia One of the great impediments that we find when writing about women is the lack of sources that talk about them. In this sense, together with Red/Acción - an Argentinean media- we decide to work to close this gap. Throughout the year Red/Accion wrote about them in order to create the sources needed to create a Wikipedia article (mainly about soccer players). With all this information in November, we carried out the edit-a-thon to update and create missing content. Thanks to this collaboration - media + Wikimedia Argentina + volunteers - we created new 56 biographies. This has meant a +500% of increase; we had 13 articles at the beginning of 2018. Also we uploaded 26 images of quality (all the National Soccer Team) that have improved 122 articles in different Wikipedias. This has been the first partnership of this kind for Wikimedia Argentina and we believe that in order to close the current content gaps, this partnerships are fundamental to achieve our goal.
|
Why do we do the things we do?
[edit]- To increase diversity within our community, we need new people join it. For this to happen we reach new audiences, organize innovative projects with strategic partners and accompany the newcomers. We also involve equally all the people interested, regardless their expertise.
- To re-engage the long-term Wikimedians we organize ourselves in thematic communities with projects that challenge them and promoting their role as leaders in the community.
- To keep the participation of our volunteers stable, we not only identify their interests and make appropriate projects, but we respect their availability and possibilities.
Free Knowledge Awareness
[edit]Advocacy & Movement strategy
[edit]The new strategic direction is having a major impact within WMAR. Although we are still defining how we are going to implement it, during 2018 we started working to:
- Position ourselves as a benchmark organization in the promotion of free knowledge.
- Ensure that the voice and needs of Iberocoop are represented in the 2030 strategy.
In this sense, during 2018 we carried out a series of initiatives at local, regional and global level. All of them are explained in the progress report and you can find them here.
However, and understanding that the strategy process is still being carried out, we would like to highlight some advances and setbacks that have occurred during the second half of 2018:
- In a similar way to most European chapters and led by WMES, we worked to raise awareness about the new European Directive on copyright. In this sense, we accompanied the work done by WMES and promoted the debate in Argentina. All the work done is key given that the debate on copyright reform is currently taking place in Argentina, with a proposal very similar to that of Europe. In this sense we are beginning to work in partnership with other civil society organizations with the aim of generating a network of work in order to defend an open and free Internet for all.
- Iberocoop actively participated during the phase I of the strategy. This impacted within the great interest in participating in the Working Groups. In fact, 13 people from the network applied. Even so, after a few months of work, some people could not continue. In particular, for many it was incompatible to coordinate the demand with their daily work. Those of us who remain in the process are trying to keep the network informed and we hope that the community will actively participate in the consultation stage that is currently starting. We have a unique opportunity to design a new movement that is in line with our needs and truly inclusive, not only by involving communities that have been left out, but to include the knowledge that is missing, in all possible ways. Even so and although we all consider it a huge opportunity, it is impossible to know how much the community will get involved.
During 2019 we will continue working on these lines of work, especially to advocate for laws that guarantee an open Internet as well as to build a more diverse and inclusive Wikimedia movement, in accordance with the realities and needs of communities around the world.

Resources
[edit]Resources to plan for measurement
[edit]- Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
- Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
- Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.
