As one of the participants at Oslo workshops (two groups of Wikimedia movement participants took part in on-site hands-on exercises on Jan.14-15 & 15-16), I would say both statements are correct. At this stage Snøhetta is facilitating Wikimedians' brainstorming using their Ideawork approach. There should also be one online leg on/around February 4 (presumably open to everyone) & two more groups will be engaging in in-person hands-on exercise in late mid-February in India. On top of the theoretical input about affiliate initiatives that are important to the movement, some international cases around dealing with intolerance & principles of Snøhetta's work around large projects,  Snøhetta & WMF Communications staff was guiding the work of respective participant groups. Each group was broken into teams that had representatives of both assigned, asking questions to facilitate the process. There was filming & photographing of the process, collecting materials that are being generated. All teams are international — I met affiliate members from Israel, Argentina, Turkey, Benin, South Africa, Georgia, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, France, Canada, etc. myself being from Tatarstan of the Russian Federation.

India workshops will bring together other people, thus different ideas to enrich understanding of whatever ideas will define the next stages of the work. regards, farhad -- Sent from Yandex.Mail for mobile 21:56, January 18, 2020, John Erling Blad &lt;jeblad(a)gmail.com&gt;om>: > … and people immediately went ballistic.
