ID : 50 Collaborative Pathways: Sharing thematic success across CEE to the movement
Author(s): Sailesh, Basak Username(s): Sailesh Patnaik Type of submission: lecture
Affiliation: Wikimedia Foundation Theme(s): Education and Community Engagement
Abstract:

The Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region is leading the way in innovative thematic work, creating participation and contribution spaces for diverse audiences or audiences of different age group within the Wikimedia movement. The sub-thematic work within the region has inspired many affiliates and community members within CEE and beyond. Initiatives like WikiClubs, WikiCamp, and Senior Write Wikipedia have set benchmarks in educational projects. This session will serve as a call to action, focusing on documenting and creating case studies, standardizing practices within the sub-thematic work happening in the region, identifying key learning, and expanding successful practices across CEE to globally. By promoting collaboration and active participation in hub spaces, our goal is to engage more affiliates in this unified approach, fostering collective thematic discussions and sharing best practices through hub knowledge spaces.

Slides:
Level of advancement: Medium, participants who are leading programs within their affiliate or affiliate staff or volunteers in-charge or interested in thematic works, education, culture heritage, and libraries or others.
Special requirements: No
How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of CEE?
  • Standardizing practices enables smoother collaboration between different affiliates within regions, fostering a stronger sense of community and shared purpose. These practices can help affiliates within CEE or beyond understand their capacity or expertise to expand on thematic work, learning from best practices of existing work within the region.
  • Aligning practices will enhance the effectiveness and broaden the reach of thematic initiatives, thereby maximizing their impact both locally and globally.
  • CEE’s leadership in thematic innovation will gain recognition, influencing Wikimedians working on different thematics and advocating for their work through CEE projects.
