Hi Wikimaniacs!
I hope you are looking forward to the upcoming Wikimania 2023 conference as much
as I am, and I would like to call your attention to the sessions on
Movement Strategy and Governance from Tuesday-Thursday. All links and information about the Movement Strategy sessions are conveniently collected
on this page on the Wikimania wiki, but here is a quick summary.
- Tuesday morning (room 325) will start with an Introduction on Movement Strategy 2030: what is it, what has been done, and what does it aim to achieve? Followed by a session from the Igbo community sharing their experience on how they involved their community in the Movement Charter creation process through the Ambassadors Program.
- Tuesday afternoon (room 325) after lunch we'll have multiple lightning talks on a diverse range of topics around Movement Strategy, where community members share their experiences from different initiatives supported by the Movement Strategy grants program, not in the least different experiences around pilot-Hubs!
- Also on Tuesday afternoon (room 326), the Movement Charter Drafting Committee is having an Open Office Hour with walk-ins, where you can ask all your questions and exchange ideas with committee members. Drop by, have a chat, and come grab a stroopwafel!
- On Wednesday morning (room 326 & on Eventyay) there are 3 workshops about different aspects of the Movement Charter: brainstorm and role play with others to experience the Movement Charter context, and help enrich the Charter content at the same time.
- And on Thursday morning (room 310 & on Eventyay) the Movement Charter Drafting Committee holds a workshop session to discuss the proposed Movement Charter chapters, where you can help the Drafting Committee tackle a few of their questions around Hubs, the Global Council and Charter ratification.
There is a
Movement Charter one-pager available on Meta to help you prepare for the sessions.
The chapters from the Movement Charter are under community review at the moment, and if you'd like to share your feedback beyond the sessions mentioned above, please leave your comments on the respective Meta talk pages.
Hope to talk to you all next week!
