Hi everyone,
I am delighted to announce that Wikimedia Deutschland’s Annual Report 2023
has been published.[1]
We have packed a comprehensive selection of your projects, topics and
events into four main articles. These highlight the many areas in which the
association is fundamentally committed to Free Knowledge and what we have
achieved together over the past year in particular. You can also look
forward to the first photo gallery in the annual report.
For our association, 2023 has been a year of giving Free Knowledge a voice
on many important platforms where Wikimedia has helped either to drive or
to challenge political and technological decisions over the past year. Our
work focuses on supporting the volunteers, further developing the free
knowledge database Wikidata and lobbying for better political conditions.
Have a look!
Nicole

The primary aim of the conference is to promote the growth and
sustainability of Wikimedia projects in Nigeria, strengthen the

foster collaboration and engender cross-affiliate projects. The conference

We will share the details for the scholarship application process soon.
