Supporting the implementation of Wikimedia projects

Some calibra participants during a joyful break.

Following the completion of the training stage in December 2023, calibra has focused on implementing projects developed by participants. This new stage has involved peer mentoring, workshops, project documentation, and communication.[1][2][3][4]

This activity is related to WMB's strategy under the axis of "Articulating Brazilian Wikimedia agencies", and is meant as a process of building a network based on peer learning to ensure project sustainability.

The specific objective of the implementation of Wikimedia activities was to ensure that projects developed during the training are effectively pursued, documented, and communicated to the community, while also fostering continued collaborative work among participants. A project framework was developed to support project implementation. Participants have been engaged in a collaborative support structure, aiming at enabling them to consolidate the skills acquired during the program and respond to implementation challenges.[2][3][4][1][5]

Grantmaking support

Participants of Calibra are seeking resources to implement the projects they developed during their training, with Wiki Apoia being the primary funding opportunity to ensure these activities are organized.[6] This effort aligns with WMB's strategy, particularly the axis on coordinating Brazilian Wikimedia agencies axis, according to which Calibra operates. The goal is to organize the community around a process that meets their needs and empowers them to be key players in the solutions identified.

As part of this initiative, two meetings were held between Calibra participants and the community management team.[7] Qualitatively, there was increasing participant engagement in the implementation process of their training-developed projects and recognition of the critical role this funding modality plays in project realization. Quantitatively, the activity involved 11 participants, with one Wiki Apoia application submitted so far.

To develop enough capacity for implementation is the main goal of Calibra, and grantmaking remains a foundation for the continuity of activities that were incubated.
