Strategic plan

Link to your strategic plan if you have one

AfroCROWD's aim for 2020-2021 has been altered to adapt to the vastly changing times which we are currently experiencing. We have begun work documenting the Black experience during the COVID 19 Pandemic, and ensure the sharing of information among the many languages of the African Diaspora, linking with global partners to do this. We are also continuing the expanded work we began in the Caribbean.

Additionally, we are also looking to expand use of Youtube and involve tech like 360 virtual reality and other innovations to expand. We also want to take a look at disaster response in the area of open access to the tech that makes editing Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wiki Commons possible.

We also want to expand our participation in One Librarian one Reference and Internet in a Box tech.

Finally, we want to expand our participation in Wikidata projects.

As we adapt to our programming being moved at least for the short term solely online, we want to expand our creativity around how to reach out, locate and work together with the our community and partners online and in the created spaces of the Wikimedia Movement.

It is a great time to work together, even as our worlds are operating a minimum 6 feet apart. We are dedicated to discovering what is possible.

Introduction

Introduce your organization, give some context about it, highlight your strategic plan and some activities to give an overview.

Despite the advent of the Corona Virus and an international pandemic that has derailed plans throughout the Wikimedia movement and the World, AfroCROWD remains optimistic about the future of its initiative. In fact, the crisis has built our resolve and perspective on the utility of knowledge through platforms like Wikipedia to empower us during uncertain times. Despite the changes, we have adapted to continue to develop during the pandemic, using our programming to encourage and teach and even entertain those we partner and work to engage in the WIkipedia community and new areas like the Caribbean diaspora.

Engaging both the languages of the African Diaspora and oral knowledge, we will also be holding:

One or more events in collaboration with Wikitongues and other partners, generating oral testimonials in several African Diaspora languages to be uploaded to Commons.
A Haitian Creole Translatathon
A Francophone editathon engaging French and francophone communities in partnership with WMNYC, Wikifranca and Wikimedia Canada
We would like to continue to have more translation events focused on languages in the African Diaspora (for example Haitian Kreyòl and Garifuna)
We drafted affiliates agreements to be signed by AfroCROWD branch organizers going forward
We’re going to continue including wikidata in our editathon trainings
We plan again to have a women focused virtual editathon campaign. It would focus on Wiki Project African Diaspora during African Union Day May 25th.
We will be collaborating with partners and organizations from the African Diaspora for a Black film editathon focused on films within the African diaspora.
We are looking at a cos-play / comics editathon in partnership with BLERD and other partners. This can be done online.
We will continue using our training videos to encourage editathons that do not require our physical presence in locations where we cannot necessarily travel and will be implementing voice overs for the tutorials.

AfroCROWD will continue to seek to increase awareness of the Wikimedia and free knowledge, culture and software movements among potential editors of African descent. AfroCROWD events and activities will engage existing contributors and new contributors in building community and in content creation with the aim of bridging the multicultural gap in editorship and content coming from and regarding Africa and the African Diaspora through online meetups, editathons, public speaking, social media outreach, community engagement, and partnerships with cultural grassroots groups in our target groups and GLAM and educational institutions.

Midterm report

Between July 2020 and January 2021, we have undergone immense change as a planet, as a Movement, and most certainly in AfroCROWD's case, as a Wikimedia initiative and user group. We began this period under the pall of a destructive and ravenous pandemic that even now continues to consume the earth. Along with it, communities in the United States are reeling from racial and political unrest, which has led to interminable political upheaval.

Add to this tumultuous mixture a troubled environment and climate change, and you will have a better understanding of the themes that molded AfroCROWD's trajectory over the last 6 months. The final seasons of 2020 would not allow business as usual. It has been a time of internal growth, adaptation and expansion outside of norms, even as it has been a time of deeper focus.

AfroCROWD events during this time:

2020

July 21: Wikipedia Training to Uplift Afro-Dominican History, Partner: Dominican Writers Group

Program Progress

PROGRAM TITLE: AfroCROWD Skillshare

Please tell or link to one program story that showcases your organization's achievements during the reporting period. This can be another meta page, a blog post or any other source that tells your program story.

AfroCROWD has been part of the Movement Strategy process through our director, Sherry Antoine, who was also elected in 2020 to represent North America and the Caribbean on the Movement Strategy Design team.

Among the Movement Strategy Recommendations are:

* 1: Increase sustainability of our Movement

* 6: Invest in skills and leadership development'

The advent of the COVID19 Pandemic wiped clean any prospect of travel or in-person meetings for most of the globe. We couldn't move forward with conferences and other regularly scheduled in-person meeting plans allocated. As a result, we had the potential to try something new with those funds. Once we received permission, we decided to use this unexpected resource to invest in partnership through a skills and leadership development and skills share.

An important part of sustainability is skills development for those who help organize the programs that are helping to develop the future of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Movement. AfroCROWD is committed to growing knowledge in our community among women especially. We also value strong synergistic partnerships. Last December we connected with Wikipedians at partners Open Foundation West Africa who were indispensable when we asked one of our organizers to connect with them at their facility in Accra for an international edit-a-thon event to document the historic 2019 Year of Return for the African Diaspora marking 400 years of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in the United States.

The experience deepened our partnership with them. When the skillshare idea came up, it was natural to approach them to see if any of the courses we found through the game-changing organization EdX, which we planned to use for AfroCROWD, could also be useful for them. We were thrilled when OFWA leader Joy Ageypong took us up on the offer. We are excited to hear that this was useful for her in her role in the Wiki community as an organizer.

In December 2020, her coursework complete, we received a testimonial on her achievement and experience. We look forward to more opportunities like this moving forward. We are looking at ways to use Wikipedia education modules for more localized skillshare with materials freely available in the movement. In our remote learning project, for example, a Wiki skillshare can be a useful tool as well.

Here is an excerpt from the testimonial from Joy printed with her permission: "In the advent of the pandemic which hit the world last year, I had the opportunity to build both hard and soft skills in an attempt to improve my work life in the open movement. Following cordial discussions and my personal interest to better my financial Knowledge as a leader in Ghana with over 4 years experience: editing, leading, and providing advice and expertise on diverse projects which ensures continued growth for my community.

I received sponsorship support from AfroCrowd as part of their quest to help other Wikimedians across the movement who were interested in taking a course or two to equip their work related to the open movement.... I am confident and can fully boast of great Knowledge acquired. I am optimistic to share my knowledge with my community whether to support a group or an individual(s) who may need assistance to manage grant funds when granted for their unique project. Attached is my certificate....Thanks once again to AfroCrowd for this opportunity. Warm regards, Joy Agyepong"

AfroCROWD in the Press: "...Wikipedia aspires to reflect the sum of all human knowledge and acknowledged that there are deep knowledge gaps that must be addressed. Initiatives like WikiProject Women in Red, WikiGap, and AfroCROWD among others aim to ensure that Wikipedia more fully represents the diversity of the world." --- Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales in "India fifth largest market; focussed on meeting language needs, enhancing ease of access: Wikipedia".

Final report

Please tell or link to one program story that showcases your organization's achievements during the reporting period. This can be another meta page, a blog post or any other source that tells your program story.

This year we celebrated 20 years of Wikipedia, joining Wikipedia editors all over the world in remembering 20 years of the quest for knowledge. It has been a year to remember, not only for the Movement as Wikipedia made the twenty year mark, but for the world as we all continue to experience the continued scourge of the COVID 19 pandemic. While, thankfully, the discovery of vaccines in record time has meant that we are collectively seeing a light at the end of this long tunnel and may soon be able to meet in person once again, there is a lot that we have learned during this season. We have deepened in our knowledge of what is possible as well as in our understanding of the dimensions of the general service of what we do.

This report aims to track AfroCROWD's growth, progress and lessons learned during these developments even as we celebrate making it to the other side of 20 years of Wikipedia!

Program story

A new and deeper dimension for AfroCROWD during this continued time of unrest and uncertainty, a time when the value of information and the dynamics and trust in information sources are down, is that representation in information coverage in traditional sources like newspapers are ever more important. In many cases, local, black-owned newspapers can be overlooked when Wikipedia editors consider credible information sources.

Among our projects to highlight this year, AfroCROWD partnered with the News On Wiki Campaign to improve coverage of Black-owned, local and Caribbean newspapers on Wikipedia, co-led by AfroCROWD’s ED Sherry Antoine.

Take a look at some of the findings in this post on Medium via Misinfocon.

Learning story

Please link to one learning story that shows how your organization documents lessons learned and adapts its programs accordingly.
As the COVID 19 Pandemic continues on, we are learning more about how to make the most of video conferencing to improve and enhance the online workshop experience for participants in the face of distractions, Zoom fatigue and other terms that have become so common in this era. We have since developed ways to counter these challenges as seen in our editathons this year, including our week long Black History the Women's History month series which engaged several notable speakers including:

Nigerian author and award-winning National Geographics photographer Lola Akinmade Åkerström, who joined us from Sweden as we discussed Black imagery on Wikimedia Commons with editors from partner African Women on Board and our friends at Wikimedia Nigeria.
Alexandria Lockett, PHD, an experienced Wikipedian and assistant English professor at renown HBCU Spelman College in Atlanta, as we joined Stanford and Oregon State University Librarians to focus on on Black Women in American History.
ImageNation Cinema founder, Moikgantsi Kgama, who joined us in New York to discuss her journey as a pioneer in the Black entertainment industry during our 6th annual Black History Month Wikipedia Editathon in partnership with the world renowned Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture with students and professors from New York University in Los Angeles, a branch of New York University focusing on arts and entertainment.
In addition to these efforts, long-time AfroCROWDers like Wiki coach and AfroCROWDer community organizer, Linda Fletcher, were regularly getting together with friends and members of her community to hold Wikipedia gatherings and study hours online to stay connected during the isolation.

In all of these cases, we were able to continue meeting and editing through video conferencing on Zoom and other applications.

This Learning Pattern touches on some of our lessons learned: Using Video Conferencing Applications for Online Edit-a-thons.
