Movement Strategy Global Conversations: Lessons Learned published! - Wikimedia-l

12 Mar 2021

      Hi friends,
Over November, December and January, the Movement Strategy team at the
Wikimedia Foundation organized -- for the first time ever --  an virtual
events series in which the Wikimedia communities on a global level were
invited to prioritize initiatives from the Movement Strategy
recommendations for the upcoming 18 month. More than 600 people in total
participated in these events.
Kaarel already shared the content-related reports on what has happened at
these events. Today, I wanted to share some additional material: A report
that covers extensively on how we organized this event series, mostly from
a logistical, technical, and operational perspective:

...
From what we know, these were the largest online events the Wikimedia
Foundation has organized so far, and we wanted to share as many lessons
learned as possible on how to organize virtual events, so that others can
pick up from what we did. Also, the pandemic is far from over and we all
will have to learn better on how to organize virtual and, especially,
hybrid events in the upcoming future.
Happy reading & sharing,
Cornelius
