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

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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit… 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 -- Cornelius Kibelka (he/him) Event Coordinator Movement Strategy 2030.wikimedia.org <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> *Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
