Hi all,
as mentioned during the Lean BXL Meeting, WMDE just started an event series discussing questions around the distribution of knowledge and thus power in the tradition of the Wikimedia Salon https://www.wikimedia.de/projects/das-abc-des-freien-wissens/ and in cooperation with with Deutschlandfunk Kultur https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/ (Radio station focusing on cultural topics, reaching 4.41 million listeners daily).

Our guests at the first edition on July 1:
Dr. Emilia Zenzile Roig https://www.emiliaroig.com/, Founder and Executive Director Center for Intersectional Justice https://www.intersectionaljustice.org/, political scientist and book author "Why we matter. The End of Oppression."
Dr. Christian Humborg https://blog.wikimedia.de/2021/05/10/christian-humborg-wird-neuer-geschaeftsfuehrender-vorstand/, Executive Director Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
Moderated by Christine Watty, editor at DLF Kultur.
The conversation (in german) was broadcast on the radio and it is available as a podcast https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/wissen-macht-gerechtigkeit-wie-fair-ist-der-zugang-zu.4000.de.html?dram:article_id=499723 including an article at Deutschlandfunk Kultur. The video of the conversation is available on our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6AEoaxs6L0. If you like it, share it with your networks! Emilia Roig was already featured with an interview in the publication "The ABC of Free Knowledge" https://www.wikimedia.de/abcdesfreienwissens/wissensgerechtigkeit/#emilia-roig .
The idea is to stimulate a broader public debate on issues related with knowledge equity as a fundamental strategic goal of the Wikimedia Strategy 2030 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/de.
A website is being created with more background info. We plan on having discussions for example on the role of Wikidata in the knowledge society of the future and much more. Feedback is very welcome!
Greetings Lilli
