Overview
[edit]- 1. In order to support community review, please provide a brief description of your organization's work in the upcoming funding period.
Wikimedia Czech Republic will work in 2021 through three programsː Multimedia & Community Programs, EDUcational Programs and Wikidata & TECH Programs.
All three programs will be cross-cutting by three main scopes: Diversity, Capacity Building and Partnerships. Diversity mainly from the scope of gender and age.
We will be focused on this target groupsː newcomers in general, seniors / librarians, minors & students / teachers, women and experts.
Multimedia & Community Programs: Programs are focused on the building of diverse community and partnerships. These activities often go hand in hand.
In the previous two years, we have tried the transition from the exclusive support of community-leading activities, to this year's focus on our "offline" community - members (especially newcomers), whom we can meet mainly in the offline space. We see it as essential for next year to balance both approaches.
- We will continue to support an experienced or "offline" community in its traditional activities - where they can focus on creating new content or learning new skills among them (Capacity Building), but we will expand the fund for all individual community activities organized by independently involved members. communities - we will support their involvement. However, we also want to attract diverse newcomers and new members to the active community through the organization for newcomers specifically focused on offline / online events - such as editathons, workshops, etc.
- As part of the multimedia programs, we will continue to focus on developing gradual cooperation and partnerships with strategic central institutions and experts - this year has made this effort quite complicated, yet we have made progress in this effort and we have something to build on - creating diverse partnerships in various forms. Very often we build partnerships based on cooperation in organizing thematic events for the public.
- In all activities, we count on online and offline variants and we will adjust the offer of activities according to the current situation.
EDUcational Programs: Within the EDUcational Programs, we will be focused on newcomers, local development and sustainability.
Now a sufficiently large and variable team of lecturers allows us to achieve our goals in this area and deal with topics related to contributing to Wikimedia projects or building the Czech Wikimedia community. As part of the Educational Programs, we maintain the main target groups, which on the one hand should bring diversity to the community and help us share the main goal - to become "the basic infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge"
- As part of the activity for seniors, we are increasingly focusing on more targeted and long-term support for librarians across the country so that libraries can organize and offer local courses for seniors - and share this know-how sustainably and locally.
- Another target group - teachers - allows us to reach out to minors and students in general. Students write Wikipedia program (for college and high school teachers) and Teach (with) Wiki program (for high school and primary school teachers) to spread the idea of free knowledge among young people. We want to create conditions where we can work with our cooperating teachers on a long-term basis.
- This year has been a major challenge in this regard and we have managed to turn a number of activities into an online space - we would like to continue this effort so that we are able to respond flexibly to the ongoing situation in education.
Wikidata & TECH Programs: Wikidata & TECH is the 3rd program of our chapter, focusing on a growing community of tech-savvy volunteers and Wikidata enthusiasts on establishing and maintaining partnerships.
Towards the end of this year, we hired the first employee for this program, which was long run only by volunteers. We promise greater emphasis on the conceptual building of the Czech Wikidata community and also greater connection with other programs and especially in connection with building strategic partnerships.
- The permanent goal is to be a functional contact point for important Czech institutions that are considering cooperation or donation thir data to Wikidata project. One way we would like to continue is to satisfy the ever-growing interest of institutions by strengthening their own capacities - whether by training an internal employee or an external professional - Wikidata resident.
- The second goal is to maintain the established cooperation - especially with the National Library of the Czech Republic, where we run a grant project in cooperation, the aim of which is to change their authority database on the wikibase.
- The third goal includes all educational activities in the Wikidata program that lead to the strengthening and expansion of the Czech community. They can be divided intoː
- 1) regular workshops (mostly for newcomers) organized more centrally and
- 2) smaller practical events specializing in a specific tool or technical issue, which are usually organized by the community and decentralized. We also want to support community members in their own small projects.

- 4. How does your organization know what community members and contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments or consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work?
- Bimonthly board meetings: Wikimedia Czech republic holds bi-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 annual plan is being designed along with our local community and is being approved during our General Assembly during April.
- Community advisory groupsː We have created a community advisory group for each program/activity. The group should became a bridge between community and target groups. We asked experienced community members as well as our colaborative partners out of community. Project managers communicate activity development plans with them and discuss a specific topics during the year.
- Online discussions: We ask for opinions on specific issues online on our members wiki and mailing list. However, our experience shows that this usually creates less feedback than in-person discussions. Furthermore, we monitor talk pages and discussions on Wikimedia projects which are related to our chapter's activities. We invited the community to participate in these discussions via announcements in the various village pumps and via the mailinglists.
- WMCZ-wiki and the newsletter:Throughout the year, we remain in contact with the community via WMCZ-wiki and the newsletter. A staffmember and a board member are regularly present at the Wikimeetings, monthly meetings of a community, where we can discuss topics face-to-face
- Survey: we are creating forms for specific topics and ask community to give us their feedback during the year about a specific topic/changes that could influence the community
- 5. Please provide a link to your organization's strategic plan, and a link to your separate annual plans for the current and upcoming funding periods if you have them.
Our Annual plan for 2021 as well as Strategic plan WMCZ 2021-24 will be approved by the Board during November-December 2020.

Metrics
[edit]| METRICS AND RESULTS OVERVIEW | A. Multimedia & Community Programs | B. EDUcational Programs | C. Wikidata & TECH Programs | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. number of total participants | 195 | 500 | 40 | Multimedia&Community: (Mediagrant+We Photograph Czechia): We expect 15 active photographers in MG+WPC photo activities in 2021. This activity is not affected by Covid-19.
Multimedia&Community: (Community support)ː We plan at least 12 online/offilne events in 2021, expected participation is cca 180 persons. This activity can be affected by Covid-19. Therefore the final numbers could be lower. EDU: We have in our planning refer to year 2020 and the current pandemic situation that has a great influence on nr. of fully completed events, nr. of participants attending (which in many cases differed from nr. of applicants), there we lower the numbers according to current statistic. Estimating we will remain in lockdown/restricted regime for about 1/2 of 2021. Online activities will substitute planned physical events in ratio approx. 2/3 of originally planned offline activities. |
| 2. number of newly registered users | 65 | 170 | 2 | Multimedia&Community: (Mediagrant+We Photograph Czechia): we expect 5 new users in 2021.
Multimedia&Community: (Community support): we estimate cca 1/3 of all participants will be newcomers in 2021. EDU: Expected ration of newly registered according to logic explained above. It is reflecting nr. we reached so far in 2020. |
| 3. number of content pages created or improved, across all Wikimedia projects | 25000 | 1200 | 200000 | Multimedia&Community: (Mediagrant+We Photograph Czechia): estimation: 20,000 new content pages (nr. consists of new or edited WP, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons pages.).
Multimedia&Community: (Community support): estimation: 3,000 content pages (Nr. consists of new WD, WC and new or edited WP pages). Multimedia&Community: (GLAM): estimation 2,000 content pages (Nr. consists of new WD, WC and new or edited WP pages). EDU: Educational programs in general don't necessarily focus on content added, the focus more on creating positive first experience with Wiki activities and possibly positive first user and editing experience, therefore we may have many content which is not finally published or people rather trying first small editions instead creating whole articles etc. and it is considered ok. |
| 4. Number of active GLAM cooperations | 8 | 40 | 15 | Multimedia&Community: (GLAM): In 2020 we had 3 active GLAM cooperations (Prague Zoo, Prague Pride, Post Bellum, National Library). In 2021 another 4 would be nice.
EDU: Universities (8), (high)schools (5), Libraries (10), NGOs (4), Foundations (2), professional networks/guilds (6), Others (5) = combination of current established cooperations + planned newly established cooperation - natural turnover of partners in longterm cooperations. Wikidata/Tech: In 2019 we had 14 active cooperationsː (National Technical Library, National Library, Faculty of Math and Physics, DrobnePamatky database, Krizky a Vetrelci database, University of Palacky in Olomouc, Wikiskripta, TDKIV database, Pamet naroda database, Library database of the National Library, National Heritage Institute, Prazdnedomy database, Bibliography of Czech Lands database, Czechitas) |
| 5. Number of events | 12 | 40 | 3 | Multimedia&Community: (GLAM + Community support): Offline events are one of the best ways how to attract newcomers and more events means more newcomers. In 2021 we want to run at least 5 editathons through the year. If Covid-19 will be still on stage, we will switch to online. We plan to organize another types of offline/online events(WikiTown, Wikiphotoworkshop, wikiworkshop for NGOs, Photo contest, wikiphotoexpedition).
EDU: foreseen Training cycle SePW (6 lectures x 6), Training cycle Librarians (3 courses/lectures x 2), Tech (with) Wiki events/trainings (3x), Wikiclubs (5 cities), festivals/fairs (at least 2), lecturers meet up (2x) - this is ideal situation with decent amount of offline events, good nr. of events will take place in online substituting original offline version.In case we remain in lockdown for several months in 2021, we would estimate 2/3 of (mostly online based) events taking place from what was planned. Wikidata/Tech: Wikidata workshops, Wikiskripta lecture |

Annual plan summary
[edit]A. Multimedia & Community Programs
[edit]The Multimedia & Community Programs are focused on the building of diverse community and partnerships.
In addition, the program promotes the proliferation of free license content, most often in collaboration with institutions such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) that collect multimedia content - especially photos, works of art, videos and other works..
It also informs and promotes the use of free licenses when making information and media accessible on the Internet.
There are 3 programsː
1. Partnership & GLAM Program
2. Community Program
3. Advocacy
1. Partnership & GLAM Program
[edit]
As part of the activity, we are creating new partnerships with strategic central institutions, especially GLAM institutions, to provide or distribute diverse content that is managed by these institutions under free licenses.
We are also supporting community members in building partnerships with these institutions, especially on the local level.
Target groupː
Goal of the activityː 1. Establish and maintain cooperation and partnerships with strategic institutions 2. Create conditions and support community members to establish partnerships with local institutions 3.Promote free licenses in institutions and in public |
Activity Development Planː 1. Establish and maintain cooperation and partnerships with strategic institutions The Multimedia Program Manager will regularly and systematically address strategic Czech institutions and try to establish (win-win) partnerships with them in various forms. It will address at least 12 strategic institutions per year. 2. Create conditions and support community members to establish partnerships with local institutions Promoting local partnerships: Existence of a constant challenge for the community (but also non-community, eg students, librarians, the public) to partner with our institutions (with our support and know-how) for the benefit of Wikimedia projects and these institutions - through Community Mini-Grants Fund. 3. Promote free licenses in institutions and in public PR GLAM collaborations: We will inform about successful collaborations not only on our website and Wikipedia, but also in local and national media. Explain the principles of free licenses to relevant partners. |
2. Community Program
[edit]
Compared to last year, we have restructured our activities. Thus, a separate activity Supporting the Community was newly created, which we divide into photographers and non-photographers (ie editors and others) and we divide each of these groups into newcomers and the existing community.
In line with the movement's strategy, we will no longer primarily focus on acquiring content, but on supporting the people who create it. We have designed special projects and events for newcomers (who we want to acquire), as well as for the existing community (which we want to motivate, appreciate and maintain).
Target groupː
Goal of the activityː
|
Activity Development Planː Support for photographers
Support for non-photographers
|
3. Advocacy
[edit]
Wikimedia projects may be threatened not only by a lack of editors or photographers, but also by changes in Czech or European legislation, which we therefore monitor closely.
In some cases, we must react actively: to defend ourselves or, on the contrary, to try to seize opportunities to our advantage.
To be more effective, we are gradually building a network of organizations that may have similar interests. We will inform each other in this platform.
Target groupː
Objective of the activityː Advocacy activities on issues related to free access to information and equal access to education |
Activity Development Planː
|
B. EDUcational Programs
[edit]Educational programs are a valid and permanent part of the association's activities. They actively contribute to the influx of newcomers, help spread awareness of Wikimedia projects and deepen relationships and activities within the Czech community.
The main target groups of the programs are newcomers in general, youth (students) and seniors. These are linked to (and naturally complement the portfolio) other target groups, such as teachers or librarians.
In addition to organizing courses, training and similar educational activities, we also support activities aimed at joint or supported editing. These are, for example, thematic editathons (in cooperation with the section of community and multimedia programs) or regular wikiklubs spread throughout the Czech Republic. As well as educational community activities. Thus, we strategically focus on capacity building - capacity building and support for the development of competencies of the existing community.
Through our portfolio of activities and the choice of target groups (youth, men, seniors, women), we have long contributed to the diversity of the community wiki - especially in terms of gender and age - and building basic infrastructure in the free knowledge ecosystem.
There are four programsː
- Seniors write Wikipedia (SePW)
- Students write Wikipedia (SPW)
- Teach (with) Wiki
- Other EDU topics
1. Seniors Write Wikipedia
[edit]
The senior program is generally well-established and stable.
We co-finance the activities of the program - this allows for a continuous slow growth in the number of activities and the number of seniors who have been involved in other long-term activities.
A great advantage is also the long-term and gradually deepened cooperation with libraries and librarians, which allows us to work with the program in regions where we would otherwise find it very difficult to provide coverage from our own capacities. Libraries are interested, the aim is to streamline cooperation aimed at opening a specific course.
Its great advantage is that the topic and target group are attractive for PR activities, networking with other stakeholders (institutions, donors, other NGOs working with the target group, etc.).
The SePW program actively contributes to the overall PR of Wikimedia CR, by having a main and attractive topic and focusing on the target group, whose prosperity is in the center of public interest, thereby helping to create effective partnerships and responsible donation of this program (donors know why they contribute to us ).
Target groupː
Goal of the activityː
|
Activity Development Planː 1. Maintaining the current quality of courses for seniors 2. Regional development 3. Streamline cooperation with libraries 4. The SePW program actively contributes to the overall PR of Wikimedia CR |
2. Students Write Wikipedia
[edit]
The programs we implement aimed at students are primarily aimed at acquainting the young generation with the principles of free access to information and education and the use of wiki principles.
Content creation is a secondary effect. This principle is fully in line with the strategy of the Wikimedia 2030 movement.
The Students Write Wikipedia program has a relatively long tradition and has long been implemented more or less voluntarily on the basis of the proactivity of active members of the association. It works great where active wikipedists are involved, who have a natural desire and motivation to incorporate knowledge and skills about the wiki into teaching and thus share their love for life.
Unfortunately, this is also his weakness. Wikimedia has a relatively low impact on specific teachers, unless they find us themselves, we only have limited ways to actively reach them, and when that happens, how to keep them on the wiki.
An important aspect is also the constant change of pupils and students - whose real trade is basically one to two years of involvement.
The current situation has brought a number of new challenges to schools, and we are adapting to them and strengthening online activities that can reinforce distance learning.
Target groupː
|
Activity Development Planː
|
3. Teach (with) Wiki
[edit]
Educational programs Students Write Wikipedia and Teach (with) Wiki in the long run should be seen as complementary and in some respects consecutive. Both focus on spreading awareness of the free knowledge ecosystem (free access to information and sources of knowledge).
Activities and methods implemented in the Teach (with) Wiki program enable the first contact for the target group (teachers and pupils, younger students) with the topic and content of the wiki - user literacy, understanding the context of open educational and information space on the Internet and closely related work and understanding critical thinking , work with fake news, etc.
It will allow access to the general public - from the young generation - and build a positive first experience with using the wiki for further educational needs.
Focusing on newcomers and the general public in this way is once again in line with the Wikimedia 2030 strategy.
Target groupː
Goal of the activityː
Medium term goalː Work on building brand/quality label for Teaching (with) Wiki. Act as stabile knowledge & best practise source - knowledge management and capacity building. Pilot project with few interested schools - implementation of Teach (with) Wiki into curricula. |
Activity Development Planː
|
4. Open educational program
[edit]
General education aimed at the general public or the existing community is a topic that we do not want to ignore.
At the same time, this fourth area of educational edu programs is really an open field in many respects - it includes a number of target groups, by its nature it tries to cover the area not covered by the previous 3 programs and is also a superstructure from this point of view.
The openness of the program is directed outwards, towards the general public and on the other hand inwards - support for activities that benefit the existing community.
Target groupː
Goal of the activityː
|
C. Wikidata & TECH Programs
[edit]Towards the end of this year, we hired the first employee for this program, which was long run only by volunteers.
We promise greater emphasis on the conceptual building of the Czech Wikidata community and also greater connection with other programs and especially in connection with building strategic partnerships.
Target groupː
Goal of the activityː
Medium term goalː 1) Maintain existing collaboration with the community, bring and support necomers 3) Being a functional contact point for important Czech institutions 4) Retain a collaboration with high-profile organizations (National Library of the Czech Republic) |

- The term “political or legislative activities” includes any activities relating to political campaigns or candidates (including the contribution of funds and the publication of position statements relating to political campaigns or candidates); voter registration activities; meetings with or submissions and petitions to government executives, ministers, officers or agencies on political or policy issues; and any other activities seeking government intervention or policy implementation (like “lobbying”), whether directed toward the government or the community or public at large. General operating support through the FDC may not be used to cover political and legislative activities, although you may make a separate grant agreement with the WMF for these purposes.
I verify that no funds from the Wikimedia Foundation will be used
for political or legislative activities except as permitted by a grant agreementYES
