Hi all!
Since July 2016 [1], the Learning and Evaluation team has been invested in understanding what leadership means in our movement, and how we can best support it. On Thursday, November 16 at 9 am PST (1700 UTC), we will host a public meeting to share what we have learned so far, and how we have been working to support community leaders. Follow the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbg2w0RnFk and ask questions via IRC (#wikimedia-office).
The first step was the Leadership Development Dialogue, a conversation about what leadership means for our communities, and how the Wikimedia Foundation can best support it. It was hosted by the Learning and Evaluation team, part of the Community Engagement department.
The conversation touched on topics like what words best suited this area of work, and also what skills identified a good leader, and how we could best collaborate across the movement to provide support within our existing infrastructures (e.g., Learning Days [2] and the Wikimedia Resource Center [3]) and beyond.
What does this mean to your local community and your work? How can you join these efforts?
Join us to learn more about what we have learned from community members about leadership in the movement, and where we want to go next. Participation is encouraged via IRC (#wikimedia-office). A recording of the event will be available later on our youtube channel.
Hope to see many of you there!
Best,
