Dear Wikidata community,
The open call for applications to join the Wikimedia accelerator program –
UNLOCK <https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/> is open* until May 29th!*
At UNLOCK, we are looking for your project idea that breaks down social and
technical barriers so that more people can participate in, use and share
knowledge – projects that create knowledge equity.
This call also goes to project teams in the Wikidata community who are
working on new and innovative free knowledge projects. These projects could
be the development of tools building on top of Wikidata's data, of
applications for social and public good or related to civic tech. A
concrete example is GovDirectory
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Govdirectory> who joined
the UNLOCK program in 2021 and developed a crowd-sourced and fact-checked
directory of official governmental online accounts and services.
Participants can expect professional coaching, peer-to-peer sessions,
access to and advice from experts and, if needed, financial support in the
form of a grant for the implementation and further development of your
idea!
If you think you might be a good fit
<https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/program/#Eligibility>, then be sure to
send us your application <https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/application/>!
If you are still unsure or have any questions, please contact us (
unlock(a)wikimedia.de) and we will be happy to help you!
All the best & happy weekend
Kannika & the UNLOCK team
