The New Voices [1] initiative of the movement strategy [2] has produced dozens of compelling and challenging insights from around the world. In July, we are focusing on sharing the key outcomes of New Voices projects leading up to and through Wikimania 2017 [7]. Here are two recently published materials you can read and discuss right away:
- A summary of three expert discussions https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/07/07/brown-bag-knowledge-sharing/ on how the discovery and sharing of trusted information have evolved. [3] - A summary of research conclusions https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Considering_2030:_Misinformation,_verification,_and_propaganda_(July_2017) about misinformation and how the movement can help people find trustworthy sources of knowledge. [4] This is part of a series of research briefs [5] conducted by our outside research partner, Lutman & Associates, on a variety of topics.
We also invite everyone to join the discussion topic for week 2 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Cycle_3#Week_2_Challenge:_How_could_we_capture_the_sum_of_all_knowledge_when_much_of_it_cannot_be_verified_in_traditional_ways.3F, both on and off of Meta: "How could we capture the sum of all knowledge when much of it cannot be verified in traditional ways?" [6]
We're preparing to publish more in the coming days, which we will share more regularly in conjunction with news about how the New Voices staff is preparing for Wikimania 2017 [7]. Your participation and feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for sharing this, Margarita. I found the expert talks to be very useful. I was particularly interested in Hochschild's review of the People's Archive of Rural India https://ruralindiaonline.org/, as it shared knowledge that people needed in their every day lives that no main stream source had addressed.
Thanks, /a
