Dear Wikimedians,
We are excited to announce that Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) has a new
strategic direction until 2030[1]! It was approved by WMDE’s General
Assembly in June 2023 and describes Wikimedia Deutschland's part in
implementing the global Wikimedia Movement Strategy 2030[2]. Developing
this strategic direction, we drew heavily from our Movement Strategy,
WMDE’s values[3] and the Linked Open Data Strategy[4].
In the introduction of the strategic direction, we describe WMDE’s role,
commitment and responsibilities. Additionally, Wikimedia Deutschland
commits to the following five strategic priorities until 2030:
-
Strong infrastructure of free knowledge
-
Thriving and stable communities
-
Greater diversity and equitable participation
-
More usage, easier access
-
Wider political and social support
The two pillars of the Movement Strategy, Knowledge as a Service and
Knowledge Equity, are integrated in different parts of WMDE’s strategic
direction[5] and were integral to its development. The strategic direction
was developed in a participatory process in 2022–23 and intends to provide
orientation for the work and decisions of the Wikimedia Deutschland
Supervisory Board, Executive Board and staff.
We would like to give a big shout out to all the affiliates and people at
the Wikimedia Foundation who supported us with ideas and input in this
process and those among you from different Wikimedia projects that
participated in our discussions.
You can read the full article about the process and content of our
strategic direction 2030 on the Diff blog [6].
We are now already well underway in taking the next steps with this
strategic direction by formulating more concrete, measurable strategic
goals for the aforementioned strategic priorities. Looking forward to
reporting back once we have taken this next step!
Cheers,
Julia Kirchner (WMDE)
